According to Reuters reports, Australian regulators imposed a fine of 610,500 Australian dollars (currently about RMB 2.814 million) on X (Twitter) for failing to cooperate with an investigation into anti-child abuse practices.

The regulator said X’s violations were more serious, including failing to answer questions about the time it takes to respond to reports of child abuse, the steps it takes to detect child abuse on live streams, and the number of its content reviews, safety and public policy staff.

X made it clear to regulators that it had cut 80% of its workforce globally and had no public policy staff in Australia, compared to two public policy staff before Elon Musk took over.

Eliminating child exploitation is the number one priority”, Musk said in a post after acquiring Twitter. But the Australian regulator said that when X was asked how it would prevent child grooming on the platform, it responded that it was “not a service used by a large number of young people.

X said it dropped its proactive detection of child abuse in public posts after Musk’s acquisition.

According to Reuters, Australian officials said today that they are planning to strengthen the supervision of artificial intelligence due to concerns about the misuse of the technology, including a possible ban on deep fakes and fake content that seems too real.

The plan follows a high-level meeting of U.S. and European Union officials on AI regulation earlier this week, when executives and experts, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, warned that AI could It will bring “extinction risk” to human beings.

Australia’s Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic told ABC television: “It’s a clear indication that society is clearly already concerned about whether the technology is getting too far ahead.”

AI-generated content could be misused in parliamentary policy consultations by distributing it in large numbers to mislead public opinion, according to a report released by Australia’s National Science and Technology Council on Thursday.

Husic emphasized that governments have a clear role to play in identifying risks and enforcing restrictions. Australia was one of the first countries to introduce regulation on AI, publishing a voluntary framework of conduct in 2018.

Husic acknowledged that existing regulations still have gaps in copyright, privacy and consumer protection, and said the government wants to make sure new regulations are fit for purpose given the rapid pace of the AI industry.

The European Parliament was close to passing a law regulating AI last month, which may be the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation law and become a reference precedent for developed economies.

Husic also said Australia would also consider direct legislation banning high-risk elements of AI technology if there was strong demand for regulation during the public consultation period for the development of new laws.
