Digital platform regulators release working papers on algorithms and AI

Summary:

The Digital Platform Regulators Forum (DP-REG) has launched its website and published working papers on algorithms and large language models (LLMs) in generative artificial intelligence (AI). The papers, written by DP-REG members including the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), eSafety Commissioner (eSafety), and Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), provide an overview of the harms and risks posed by algorithms and LLMs, as well as their impact on regulatory roles. The papers support DP-REG's 2023-24 strategic priorities, including understanding the impact of algorithms and evaluating the benefits, risks, and harms of generative AI. The DP-REG website aims to facilitate stakeholder engagement and discussion on AI regulation in Australia.
