Minderoo Foundation convened an expert AI roundtable at Parliament House in May, bringing together government representatives and domestic and international experts to discuss how Australia can scale AI safely and responsibly.

Minderoo research partner Diffusion.Au spoke to thousands of people across the United Kingdom to understand their hopes, fears, and expectations for AI, mapping key public mindsets that reveal what moves people to act, who to engage, and how to build trust.

Lizzie O’Shea, Chair of Digital Rights Watch, breaks down how AI actually works – from how it learns, to where your data ends up, and what it means for those who hold power in a tech-driven world.

Ed Santow and Nick Davis from the Human Technology Institute unpack the risks already emerging from AI, and what needs to change to ensure accountability, oversight, and public trust.

Lawyer, Author and Chair of Digital Rights Watch explains how AI is impacting fundamental human rights and why stronger safeguards are urgently needed.

Digital Rights Watch wants to hear from Australians who have experienced harm from AI tools. If you have experienced an AI-related harm, share your experience to help the campaign for more protections.

Joint research by the Alan Turing Institute and the Ada Lovelace Institute finds the UK public remains cautious about AI. People support beneficial uses but want stronger safeguards, clearer accountability and meaningful public involvement in decisions about how AI is developed and used.

Joint research by TechEquity and Diffusion.Au shows Californians are concerned about AI’s impacts on jobs, privacy and fairness. While recognising potential benefits, the public strongly supports clear rules, worker protections and accountability measures to ensure AI is developed and used in the public interest.

Research by the Ada Lovelace Institute shows strong public support in the UK for fair, safe and accountable AI. People prioritise fairness and social impact over speed or profit, distrust self-regulation by tech companies and support independent regulators with real enforcement powers.
