A report from the AI and Law in New Zealand Project. The AI Forum’s 2018 report, Artificial Intelligence: Shaping a Future New Zealand, suggested that adoption of AI in New Zealand Government is currently ‘disconnected and sparsely deployed.’

Last week the political leaders of New Zealand, France, Canada, the UK and other countries from around the world joined together with leaders from international technology companies and civil society organisations to adopt the Christchurch Call, exactly two months on from the terrorist attack on Christchurch mosques on March 15th which resulted in 51 people losing their lives.

In the Christchurch Call summit, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has achieved a milestone consensus between countries and tech companies.
