Breaking: Three experts appointed to lead SA's Royal Commission into AI

Former federal court judge Dr Iain Ross AO has been appointed to lead South Australia's Royal Commission into Artificial Intelligence. The other two commissioners announced by SA Premier Peter Malinauskas today are former Tech Council of Australia CEO Kate Pounder and artificial intelligence expert Christopher Manning. Mr Malinauskas said Dr Ross is also Reserve Bank's monetary board member, the chair of the Net Zero Commission and was president of the Fair Work Commission at "a time of great change within the labour market." "Iain's expertise are critical because one of the key focuses of the royal commission is to consider what the implications are of AI on the future of work more broadly," he said. "We know that AI is already changing the way people live, but most critically the way they work "Iain has a full appreciation of how government policy can have an impact on the way we work." Mr Malinauskas previously announced the inquiry was intended to maximise the benefits and minimise unwanted impacts from the growth of AI. The premier previously said it was also expected to hear from businesses, unions, industry bodies, technology companies and academics. The royal commission is expected to deliver a report to the government no later than July 1 next year.
