Where did Elise Searson-Prakaash stand on AI safety policies?

Elise Searson-Prakaash (HEART Party) was a senate candidate in the 2025 Federal Election for ACT.

Elise Searson-Prakaash explicitly supports both an Australian AI Safety Institute and mandatory guardrails for high-risk AI. She emphasises the need for an "independent, well-resourced public body" to assess advanced AI risks and advocates for "clear guardrails around the use of AI in high-risk contexts" that are "publicly accountable, enforceable, and designed in collaboration with independent experts." Her response frames AI safety as aligned with her campaign priorities of "transparency, evidence-based policy, and long-term thinking."
