Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a fast-evolving class of technologies. AI may impact a range of economic activities and boost productivity growth.

This discussion paper seeks views on whether the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) remains suitable to:

• protect consumers who use Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• support the safe and responsible use of AI by businesses.

Additionally it seeks views on how the ACL applies to AI-enabled goods and services, including:

• how the existing principles apply
• the remedies available to consumers where things go wrong
• the mechanisms for allocating liability among manufacturers and suppliers.

This consultation will inform other ongoing work:

• on Australia's consumer protection framework
• to clarify and strengthen existing laws to address AI-related risks and harms.

Consultation open: 15 October 2024 - 12 November 2024
