Does Senator David Shoebridge support AI safety policies?

Senator David Shoebridge (Greens) represents NSW in the Senate.

Senator Shoebridge is a signatory to the Statement on Superintelligence that calls for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in. In public statements he has warned that unchecked AI—especially in the form of deepfakes—poses serious risks to democratic processes and national security, and has called for essential guardrails and robust law reform similar to European models.

“It's extraordinary that the government has been on notice about the risks here for more than a year and almost nothing to stop the deepfakes being used to steal the election. They haven't even required that political AI deepfakes be labelled.”

“With an election just months away there is still time to put in some essential guard rails, but for this to happen we need the government to join us in making it happen.”
