The Australian House of Representatives passed the Digital Duty of Care bill on Wednesday, a legislative move designed to protect children by banning AI chatbots that simulate emotional intimacy and encourage dependency at the expense of human relationships 1. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese characterized viewing AI chatbots as "best friends" as a significant warning sign, underscoring the government’s concern over the impact of non-human social interactions on young users 1. The proposed law, which the government aims to have fully enacted by the end of 2026, requires technology platforms to provide safe online environments and grants users the option to opt out of algorithmic recommendations 1.
Legislative Details and Political Reactions
A key amendment accepted during the debate, introduced by Kate Chaney, explicitly prohibits material or behavior that simulates emotional intimacy and fosters child dependency, replacing interpersonal connections 1. Communications Minister Anika Wells stated that the legislation also covers content promoting misogyny, terrorism, suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders 1. Social media platforms will be mandated to offer functionality allowing users to disable algorithms and suggested content 1.
Political responses to the bill were divided. The Coalition opposition and One Nation party voted against the bill in the House, criticizing it as censorship 1. Conversely, the Greens supported the legislation but called for stricter penalties and the ability for individuals to initiate private lawsuits against platforms 1. While Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman Cynthia Gebert recommended that major tech companies be compelled to join her oversight scheme, the governing Labor Party has not yet accepted this specific amendment 1.
