Google and IPSOS Survey Reveals Widespread Use of Generative AI in Australia, Raises Concerns Over Misuse

Published on 4.17.25

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a ubiquitous presence in various aspects of life, from the workplace to the legal system. In Australia, a recent survey by Google and IPSOS found that nearly half of the population uses generative AI, with 75% utilizing it for work purposes. However, the use of AI has not been without its challenges. In one instance, an individual unknowingly used generative AI to send work emails, resulting in a $2000 loss. This incident highlights the potential risks associated with using AI without proper understanding and caution. The use of AI in legal proceedings has also raised concerns. An AI startup founder faced criticism for using an AI-generated avatar, named 'Jim', to present a case without informing the court. This move was seen as a breach of protocol and highlighted the need for clear guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence in legal settings. A string of lawsuits has been filed against private health insurers, including Cigna Corp., alleging that AI-powered algorithms are being used to improperly deny benefits to patients. A California federal judge has partially allowed one such case to proceed, signaling that the use of AI in claims denials comes with significant legal risks.
