Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to advocate for measures to slow or rein in advanced artificial intelligence at the United Nations, including by raising the issue with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Both outlets report that Albanese links the push to the need for “appropriate safeguards” for AI use. PerthNow notes he is hopeful UN countries can agree on workable steps to regulate or limit AI risks, even as Trump has dismissed technology concerns as a “hoax.”
7News Australia adds detail that Albanese intends to advocate for an “AI slowdown” both publicly and privately. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: PerthNow foregrounds the broader expectation of UN-driven action and Trump’s disputed stance, while 7News Australia focuses more specifically on Albanese’s plan to press Trump directly on the sidelines of the UN.
