About this episode
The episode discusses Apple's cautious approach to AI investments and the economic implications of increasing fuel reserves in Australia amid an energy crisis.
Under outgoing CEO Tim cook’s 14-year tenure, tech titan Apple skyrocketed from the billions to the trillions of dollars in value. But unlike its competitors, Apple has been relatively restrained in AI investments. Is that about to change? And the Opposition is calling on the government to double minimum fuel reserves held in Australia as it unveils a proposed fuel plan in light of the ongoing energy crisis. So what are the economics behind storing more fuel? Carrington Clarke and ABC Chief Business Correspondent Ian Verrender break it all down on ABC Business Daily. Got a burning business question?
