Liberal Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Liberal Party of Australia has historically supported strong defense spending and modernization, including investments in advanced technologies. For example, under the Morrison government, the 2020 Defence Strategic Update and Force Structure Plan included significant funding for emerging technologies such as AI. The party generally favors leveraging technology for national security, though not without some oversight.

Agree

Yes, but only to assist and not replace human decision making

The Liberal Party would generally agree with using AI to assist, not replace, human decision-making in defense. This aligns with public statements from Liberal defense ministers emphasizing the importance of human oversight in lethal autonomous systems. The 2020 Defence Strategic Update also referenced the need for ethical frameworks in deploying new technologies.

Agree

Yes, but with very strict oversight and regulations

The Liberal Party would somewhat agree with investing in AI with oversight and regulations, as they recognize the need for ethical and responsible use of technology. However, they tend to prioritize capability and security, so while they support oversight, they are less likely to advocate for 'very strict' regulations that could impede rapid adoption. Their approach has generally balanced innovation with some regulatory frameworks, as seen in their support for the 2021 Australian AI Action Plan.

Disagree

No, we need more testing in controlled environments first

While the Liberal Party supports responsible testing and development, they have not advocated for delaying investment until more testing is complete. Their policy has been to invest in and deploy emerging technologies while continuing to develop regulatory and ethical frameworks in parallel, rather than waiting for exhaustive testing before any deployment.

Strongly disagree

No

The Liberal Party would strongly disagree with a blanket 'No' to AI investment in defense, as this contradicts their established policy of supporting defense innovation and modernization. Their track record, including support for the Defence Innovation Hub and Next Generation Technologies Fund, demonstrates a clear commitment to integrating new technologies like AI.
