From Australia: What is the EU AI Act, and should government agencies care?

In this article:

On the other side of the globe, the European Union is one of the first regions to introduce comprehensive AI regulation, via the EU AI Act.
Why should Australia’s public sector care?
Will the Brussels effect, where other countries follow EU legislation, make it all the way down under?
Or will it lead to an influx of libertarian European AI talent fleeing into Australia, as some argue?
Will it limit or foster AI innovation?
For government agencies and public sector leaders in Australia, the EU AI Act is more than just a distant regulatory development.
It’s a potential blueprint for the future of AI governance, and a source of early feedback on what works and what doesn’t in the actual implementation of such regulation.
