Inquiry urges NSW govt to appoint Chief AI Officer


The New South Wales government has been urged to appoint a Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer, as well as sub-level AI officers within agencies, to oversee the responsible uptake and regulation of the technology.

A NSW parliamentary inquiry into AI made the recommendations after finding a need to help NSW seize the opportunities presented by AI while addressing “unease” within the community.

The inquiry, led by Legalise Cannabis Party MP Jeremy Buckingham, was launched in in June last year in response to the arrival of ChatGPT, which kicked off the AI arms race between tech companies.
