Abstract

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened opportunities in a range of human endeavours (NSTC Committee on Technology, 2016). In response to the speed of these developments there has been a burst of analysis and dialogue in New Zealand. The New Zealand Institute of Directors commissioned a white paper (Chapman Tripp, 2016); the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment published Building a Digital Nation and the Strategic Science Investment Fund 2017–24 business plan (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, 2017, 2016), and supports the new Artificial Intelligence Forum of New Zealand.
