Australian watchdog warns of 'robodebt' repeat as AI use in government decisions lacks oversight

The Centre for Public Integrity's report warns that Australia's federal government is at risk of repeating the robodebt scandal due to unregulated use of algorithms and AI in decision-making. The report calls for mandatory audits and a public register of automated decision-making tools. This highlights a governance gap in AI deployment, with potential for significant public harm if unaddressed.
