Artificial Intelligence Course In Australia

An artificial intelligence course in Australia aimed at a workplace should spend less time on the technology and more on the obligations that already apply to it.

Privacy law applies. Putting personal information into a third-party tool is a disclosure and needs assessing as one, including where the tool is hosted overseas.

Discrimination law applies. A screening or assessment tool that disadvantages people sharing a protected attribute can amount to indirect discrimination even though no person made the decision.

Workplace surveillance legislation applies wherever a tool observes how people work, and the requirements differ by state and territory.

And accountability does not shift anywhere. A decision affecting somebody still has to be explainable afterwards by a person who owns it.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner publishes guidance on personal information. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
