Comment by Bill Shorten

Former Australian Labor Party leader and federal minister.
This is a marvellous technology, but until we can regulate it, we need to slow down. What we're seeing at the cutting edge of AI laboratories is actually a technology which doesn't appear to need humans to make decisions. Once you eliminate human oversight, there's no guarantee that what we're designing will actually make decisions in the best interest of humanity.
