Australia seeks big tech support for internet safety, AI regulation
PM Anthony Albanese asks Apple boss Tim Cook to back Canberra's online safety laws to 'keep Australians safe'.
The Australian government is seeking support from global tech giants as it works to strengthen the country’s online safety laws and artificial intelligence (AI) regulations.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who met Apple CEO Tim Cook at the tech company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, on Saturday, said that “Australia can’t do it alone” when it came to protecting children from the dangers of the internet.
“We spoke about what we’re doing to protect children from online harm and the work ahead,” Albanese wrote on social media.
In a post on X, Cook also said he shared with Albanese new “strong and intuitive controls to help keep kids safe online”.
