In this week's Datapro Newsletter, we discuss Australia's "Voluntary AI Safety Standard", highlighting that its seemingly optional nature is a "regulatory mirage". The text from "AI Governance Reality Check" explains how these voluntary guidelines, particularly the ten guardrails, are a precursor to mandatory compliance for AI development and deployment, especially for high-risk applications. It outlines the technical implications for engineering managers, stressing the importance of proactive implementation of measures like risk management, data governance, and record-keeping. The "Data Pro newsletter" appears to be the publication where this critical analysis is shared, emphasising the shift towards AI governance as a legal requirement.
