This week, the Victorian government announced it will act to protect workers from “inappropriate and unfair uses” of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. This will include introducing new laws to ensure AI hiring decisions are “free from bias or discrimination”.
The state government also plans to target “intrusive” workplace surveillance, which will include giving workers a right to know if they are being monitored, and requiring a human to have “final say” in any “significant automated decision made using surveillance data”.
