ANZ CEO Calls for Global Regulation of AI to Prevent Employment Crisis

ANZ CEO Nuno Martins has called for the establishment of a global regulatory framework to address the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market. He warned that a lack of regulation could trigger an international crisis. During a parliamentary hearing in Canberra, Martins stated that if mass layoffs of up to 50% were to occur, it would lead to a global crisis. He pointed out that this is one of the situations requiring global regulatory intervention to ensure society does not fall into distress. In recent years, the Australian banking sector has seen a wave of layoffs alongside the adoption of artificial intelligence, with the economic environment also presenting challenges. Some critics have accused banks of using AI to replace employees. Martins hopes that countries and their governments around the world can collaborate to ensure that this technology does not lead to social issues.
