Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Apple CEO Tim Cook in California to discuss strengthening Australia’s internet safety laws and AI regulations. Albanese emphasized the need for global tech companies’ support in protecting children from online dangers, highlighting new legislation that will introduce “duty of care” requirements for social media platforms by year-end. The proposed rules aim to give users control over algorithms and are currently being reviewed with stakeholders before parliamentary introduction.

Story summary
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese traveled to Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California, ahead of his trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. There, he met with Apple CEO Tim Cook and other executives to discuss digital safety measures and AI regulation. Albanese emphasized that Australia's social media reforms for under-16s are "world-leading," a view shared by Cook. The meeting also focused on new parental controls developed by Apple, which were inspired by Australian regulations aimed at protecting children online. At the UN, Albanese plans to argue that cyberattacks and AI pose significant international security threats and will seek global rules to mitigate these risks while promoting AI innovation.
