AI in Australia - Meeting the moment or seeing it pass by?
Australia has a once-in-a-generation chance to turn its natural strengths into sovereign, sustainable AI capability. Our abundant renewables, world-class datasets, strong research and geopolitical stability give Australia a unique edge for low-emissions (sustainable) compute, yet, without public leadership, we risk “renting” our digital future from offshore providers amid record foreign data-centre spend. To own our future will require bold public investment in nation-building digital infrastructure that secures productivity, resilience, and strategic autonomy, keeping value and standards onshore while partnering globally where it serves the public interest.
