## Resource

In this episode, Jan takes a look at the Prime Minister’s AI plan. Or rather his plan to have a plan.  In a major speech delivered this week, he promised to fast-track approvals for datacentres and protect the copyright of Aussie artists. It was big on vision but small on details. But that’s not what’s got Jan feeling an underlying sense of anxiety.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
