Australia must establish its sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) research and innovation capability to avoid being left behind other countries, a report released on Monday has found.

“Artificial Intelligence: Your Questions Answered,” a collaboration between the University of Adelaide’s Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) and the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), is a collection of short papers which looks into the opportunities and risks AI technology brings to Australia, as well as the importance of Australia developing in-house AI capability.
