We are seeking your views on whether the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) remains suitable to:
protect consumers who use Artificial Intelligence (AI)
support the safe and responsible use of AI by businesses.

how the existing principles apply
the remedies available to consumers where things go wrong
the mechanisms for allocating liability among manufacturers and suppliers.
Your views will inform other ongoing work:
on Australia's consumer protection framework
to clarify and strengthen existing laws to address AI-related risks and harms.
