Decoding the language AI Safety: What is being said to Australians?

AI capability is outpacing the governance cycles meant to contain it, and in the gap the public is given the language of AI transparency rather than transparency itself. MapleTree, a not-for-profit, has mapped nearly 500 submissions to Australia's AI and Automated Decision-Making consultations, and how 100+ listed companies describe AI in their privacy policies. The asymmetry is measurable: 22% disclose AI profiling; exactly one offers a human-review right. Open, contestable evidence of what's actually advocated and actually disclosed should anchor Australia's emerging ADM rules, and the democratic accountability we'll rely on to govern AI. Come and hear five fast facts that will change the way you read AI transparency materials and what the evidence reveals about who's advocating for what.
