About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI development and Australia's role in the Indo-Pacific region.

From online chatbots to enormous data centres, it is increasingly difficult to ignore artificial intelligence in our daily lives. Do governments still stand a chance to shape the future of AI development? What could Australia’s data centre boom mean for the nation’s energy grid? Does Australia have a role to play when it comes to the Indo-Pacific’s regional AI capabilities? Director of Strategic Technologies at the United States Studies Centre Olivia Shen , and Research Associate in Strategic Technologies Johanna Lim joined the USSC Briefing Room to answer these questions.
