The proposal would create an Independent Regulator of Digital Rights. The regulator would require Digital Rights Impact Assessments for machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that can negatively impact the public.
The regulator would ensure transparency and accountability around how Big Tech uses AI, including algorithms and generative AI, increased access to data held by Big Tech firms, and a chain of accountability for when AI goes wrong or causes harm.
The proposal would be ongoing and commence on 1 July 2026.
