The shadow industry minister told the Sydney Dialogue the US government’s shutdown of access to Claude Mythos in June showed Australia could be held hostage if it didn’t get local AI capacity.
He said: double quotation mark Without a sovereign AI frontier model here in Australia, we are going to be a supplicant state, not a sovereign state … People think it’s making memes on ChatGPT. We’re talking about the global order being changed and Australia falling behind.
Hastie said Australia was far behind in the race for development so should look to make a deal with the US as it makes its AI “arms race” against China.
double quotation mark We need to work on a way to get a hyperscaler down under, or multiple hyperscalers to invest in sovereign capability, the same way Ford and General Motors did 100 years ago … I think working with the United States, through Aukus if we want to use that frame, is the pathway.
He said such an outcome would be a “balancing act” as Australia would not have “complete control” but said the country could bring its policy settings to bear on the businesses that agreed to set up here. He cited a former Labor prime minister’s argument.
double quotation mark I think Dr Kevin Rudd was exactly right last week when he said … industry policy is now the norm not the exception … Ditch the orthodoxies of the last 40 years and wake up to the reality that is now shaping our world.
Ann O’Leary , OpenAI’s vice president for global policy, told the Sydney Dialogue the prime minister’s speech vowing to protect artists from “theft” had “caught our attention”. She said OpenAI was “very eager to have a bigger and broader relationship” with Australia.
She said: double quotation mark I don’t have to tell any of you how important Australia is from a geopolitical standpoint … We very much recognise that having a diversification of where we train is going to be important as you move forward.
O’Leary said OpenAI agreed with Australia’s principles for building datacentres but the AI industry had been surprised by the upset from the projects.
double quotation mark I think many of us have been surprised at the turn of how much upset there has been over datacentres … People feel like, ‘okay we have this data centre in our backyard that may be noisy and may be something I don’t want to look at.
In addition to that I don’t really know what it’s doing that benefits me’. So until we can do a better job having people live it and feel it and benefit from it, it’s going to continue to be hard.
She urged Australia to advocate for strong AI governance and its own access.
double quotation mark Australia also has to be attracting us, companies like ours, to come to Australia but not just for the purposes of working on energy and datacentres but also to come and recognise the value of Australia.
‘Lazy policy’: crossbenchers and Liberals unite against private health rebate changes for over 65s Independents Monique Ryan and Jacqui Lambie and shadow health minister, Anne Ruston , have railed against the government’s plan to reduce private health insurance rebates for over 65s.
This morning, the group released data from the parliamentary budget office that said half of the $3bn in savings would come from the pockets of pensioners. At a press conference a little earlier, Ruston said it was “lazy” policy.
