“Most federal governments are severely under-funding AI research, especially the examination of its impact on individuals and society. Advanced research must occur on critical aspects of AI’s impact.

“There are numerous groups working actively to highlight the negatives of the My Health Record without any conversational balance. The ‘privacy frenzy’ beat-up does a disservice to the Australian community who are looking to make an informed decision about their health data.”
