Unlocking Aotearoa's AI opportunity: TUANZ calls for trust, transparency and human oversight
TUANZ's new Responsible Generative AI position paper calls for a balanced approach to AI adoption, highlighting trust, transparency and human oversight as essential to unlocking its full economic potential. With AI projected to contribute up to $76 billion to New Zealand's economy by 2038, TUANZ is urging government and industry to work together to ensure AI is adopted responsibly, building public confidence while driving innovation, productivity and growth.

Strengthening trust through transparency: TUANZ calls for a shift to "active agency" in data use.
TUANZ is calling for a new approach to data use in New Zealand, one that moves beyond lengthy privacy policies and one-off consent towards greater transparency, trust, and individual control. In its new Transparent Data Use position paper, TUANZ argues that as AI and data-driven services become increasingly embedded in daily life, organisations must act as trusted stewards of data, ensuring people clearly understand how their information is used and can make informed choices. The paper outlines four key priorities, including explainable AI, standardised data labels, stronger consumer control of data, and support for Māori data sovereignty, to help build a high-trust, high-growth digital economy.
