Our colleagues at the OAIC have published 2 handy new guides for businesses focusing on privacy law and AI. ⬇️ #privacy #artificialintelligence
We’ve published 2 new guides for businesses that articulate how Australian privacy law applies to artificial intelligence (AI) and set out our expectations as the regulator. Work for a business? The first guide will make it easier for your business to comply with your privacy obligations when using commercially available AI products and help you to select an appropriate product: https://lnkd.in/gH8frTkU Developing AI products? Our second guide provides privacy advice around using personal information to train generative AI models: https://lnkd.in/gvg-ra7N Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind said: ‘Our new guides should remove any doubt about how Australia’s existing privacy law applies to AI, make compliance easier, and help businesses follow privacy best practice.’ For more information, read our media release: https://lnkd.in/gWQanb6m
