The federal government has been inspired by regulatory practices in the aviation and banking sectors for new laws that would require AI developers to prove safety.

In its report, the OAIC found that the Flying Kangaroo had not failed to take reasonable steps to protect its customers’ data, and that its response afterwards had reduced the impact.

As originally reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, Qantas last week terminated 30 roles at its Mascot location to simplify its management structure. The Australian Services Union said it was told that those roles would be replaced by AI, which the airline says is not the case.

With the intention of replacing its current platform, CASA has invited technology firms and suppliers to showcase the AI capabilities of digital asset management platforms, as first reported by iTnews.

The airline has launched a “generative AI assistant for senior corporate teams with tailored training to drive productivity”, and said it will be rolling out new AI capabilities over the next 12 months.

In an update on the ASX, the Flying Kangaroo said it was still working to validate the individual and added it had also engaged the Australian Federal Police.
