  • From the Summary Podcast - Would You Hit 'Unfollow' on Your Algorithm?

    From the Summary Podcast - The Australian Government has officially introduced its Digital Duty of Care legislation to parliament, proposing sweeping changes to how social media platforms operate and allowing users to opt out of recommendation algorithms.

    On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant explores how these proposed laws could reshape the internet. 

    Federal Politics Reporter Nelson Scott breaks down the political negotiations in parliament, key concessions made regarding free speech concerns, and why the Greens could push the government for even tougher rules.

    Dr. Belinda Barnet from Swinburne University of Technology examines what an algorithm-free feed would actually look like, whether Australia can truly enforce compliance on global tech giants, and the likelihood of everyday citizens launching class-action lawsuits.

    This is the second episode of our daily news podcast, to follow and get your updates throughout the day search 'The Summary' in your podcast app, and tap the follow button. The Summary, a podcast that keeps you connected to what matters, and why.

    Every day, we hear more instances of AI agents going 'rogue,' with personal data and sensitive information increasingly being put at risk. But what does it actually mean when an AI agent steps out of line, and are Australia's cyber defences ready for the growing threat? 

    In this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant digs into the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity alongside two leading experts. Dr. Jake Renzella from UNSW’s Computing and Education research group demystifies Large Language Models (LLMs) and explains what 'going rogue' means in a real-world technical context. Meanwhile, Professor Yang Xiang, a cybersecurity expert from Monash University, explores why AI-driven breaches lack traditional warning signs and questions whether we have entered an arms race where AI-powered tools are required to defend against AI-powered incursions. Together, they examine policy readiness and regulatory challenges pose a greater immediate risk to citizens than high-profile security incidents.
