Where did Caz Heise stand on AI safety policies?

Caz Heise was an Independent house candidate in the 2025 Federal Election for Cowper.

Caz Heise supports both establishing an Australian AI Safety Institute and implementing an Australian AI Act with mandatory guardrails, according to her campaign's explicit authorisation. Her campaign recognises "the rapid emergence of AI is having a profound impact on Australia" and emphasises the importance of expert-led governance, clear enforceable standards guided by transparent public consultation, and ensuring AI technology and research benefit society broadly rather than just private interests. While her campaign directed us to her detailed platform, we found no specific AI policies outlined there, indicating these positions are newly stated in response to our policy questions.
