AI Policy and Regulation Hub

About

CAIDE's AI Policy and Regulation Hub collates our work on helping ensure policy and regulation helps develop responsible AI technology. This takes the form of our workshops, masterclasses, roundtables and academic work

Responsible AI Workshops and Masterclasses

CAIDE runs both general and bespoke workshops and masterclasses on demystifying AI, Ethics, Policy and Regulation.

CAIDE is especially delighted to be working with AVPN to offer bespoke ‘train the trainer’ workshops for not-for-profit enterprises in Australia and New Zealand on AI literacy, with a focus on responsible (fair and safe) generative AI.

CAIDE’s work here has extended overseas via the DFAT Cyber and Critical Technology Cooperation Program, including both working across government, academia and the legal profession in Vietnam in 2023 and welcoming a delegation
from the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice in June 2024, who participated in one of our Responsible AI Masterclass.

AI Policy Forums: Issue Papers and Videos

CAIDE has organised both policy forums and other events featuring key input from those working at or near the intersections of emerging technology and the law.

We have recently worked to run multiple roundtable policy forums, bringing together expert panels from law, policy, economics, technology and more to deal with specific and nuanced areas of modern AI policy, including:

• AI, IP and the Creative Industries
• AI and Legal Education
• AI and Markets
• AI, Synthetic Content and Truth
• AI, Synthetic Content and Fraud
• Women in AI Policy

From each forum's discussion and prepared materials, a corresponding policy paper was  produced aiming to 'demystify' that area of AI policy. Additionally, a series of videos was produced, featuring experts, academics and practitioners breaking down the major issues of debate in each policy topic.

Watch the videos then read and download our Policy Forum Issue Papers

We are also regularly involved in broader events - organising seminars, orations, panels and more to help spread understanding and build community around AI policy and regulation. You may view recordings and recaps of some of these events via our 'Past Events' page:

AI and Regulation Research

Regulation in Australia

CAIDE Director Prof Jeannie Paterson recently had a book chapter published on ‘Regulating Generative AI in Australia: Challenges of Regulatory Design and Regulator Capacity’ as part of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of the Foundations and Regulation of Generative AI.

This considers Australia’s challenges in designing guardrails and governance frameworks without stifling social and economic opportunities: whether fitting into the existing legal regime, avoiding complexity or ensuring compatibility with international standards, and thoroughly explores possible regulatory approaches.
