How do we make artificial intelligence more humane?

Too often we're told that if Australia is to compete globally in developing AI products, Australian researchers and companies must not be fettered by human rights concerns, because other countries certainly aren't. China, for example, is investing heavily in AI technology such as facial recognition to support its "social credit score" system, which involves conducting precise and determinative surveillance of its citizens. In the context of a global AI arms race, it is argued, Australia can't compete with one arm tied behind its back.
