Three experts have been appointed to lead South Australia's Royal Commission into Artificial Intelligence. Dr Iain Ross AO, a former federal court judge, Reserve Bank monetary board member, chair of the Net Zero Commission, and former president of the Fair Work Commission, will serve as the commission's leader. The other commissioners are former Tech Council of Australia CEO Kate Pounder and AI expert Christopher Manning.
Dr Ross's expertise is crucial due to the commission's primary focus on examining the implications of AI on the future of work. He highlights that AI is already transforming both personal lives and professional environments, and government policy plays a significant role in shaping the work landscape. The premier, Peter Malinauskas, announced the inquiry aimed at maximizing the benefits and mitigating the adverse effects of AI growth.
The royal commission is expected to deliver its findings to the government by July 1 next year, after hearing from various stakeholders including businesses, unions, industry bodies, technology companies, and academics.
