Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines Australia’s recent AI governance efforts through the lens of sociotechnical imaginaries. Using the example of Robodebt, it demonstrates how a more holistic and contextual examination of AI governance can help shed light on the social impacts and responsibilities associated with AI technologies. It argues that, despite the recent discursive shift to ‘safe and responsible AI’, a sociotechnical imaginary of AI as ‘economic good’ has been a persistent undercurrent in the past two governments’ efforts at AI governance. Understanding how such sociotechnical imaginaries are embedded in AI governance can help us better predict how these governance efforts will impact society.
