Jim Chalmers on Australia’s AI balancing act | That’s Business with Alan Kohler

Meanwhile, a group of international economists and tech leaders released an open letter, ‘We Must Act Now,’ warning that advanced AI could shake-up the economy more than the Industrial Revolution – and over a much shorter timeframe.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers talks with Alan Kohler on Thursday, digging into what the government is proposing with AI, as well as other pressing questions about the Australian economy. Alan gets the Treasurer’s take on AI safety and sovereignty, the responsibilities of data centres, and the issue of copyright and creatives – who gets paid, and how? Alan also asks the Treasurer about his meeting with Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, who visited Australia earlier this year.
Then there’s a bit of other stuff to catch up on as well: tax, housing, migration, and the ever-present issue of productivity. As the Treasurer prepares to publish the intergenerational report (IGR) later this year, how will this once-in-a-generation technology of artificial intelligence change Australian lives?
Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers joins Alan Kohler to unpack it all on That’s Business with Alan Kohler.
