Representatives from Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon will appear in Canberra today for a public hearing.
The firms, responsible for AI tools including Google's Gemini, Meta AI, Amazon Lex and Microsoft's Copilot, will face questions about how businesses could deploy AI technology and how it can be misused.
Microsoft is also the largest investor in OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT, although the firm operates independently.
This marks the fifth public hearing from the Select Committee on Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI), which was established by the Senate in March this year to report on the opportunities and impacts for Australia arising out of the uptake of AI.
Previous hearings have heard calls for restrictions to be issued for the use of AI tools in fields such as healthcare, media and art.
The parliamentary committee is expected to release its findings in September.
