Australian Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind has rejected tech giant Meta’s proposal that Australia needs to relax its privacy regulations to facilitate the development of AI.

Meta has recently made a submission (pdf) to an inquiry on digital technologies and the harvesting of personal data, where the company argued that Australia is “out of step with international norms” regarding privacy regulations.
