Can we replace the useless government with AI

Fair point, Farid, but hoping for global consistency is a bold strategy given how differently every country handles regulation. I'll believe we have "peace of mind" when the paperwork actually matches up.
@
More public servants, more government control, more taxes.

Data Centres, otherwise known as SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

is he a bot?
@
Confirmation of Clennels absurd slant on politics is when he says Australia is "politically stable "! Have you ever heard such rubbish. He obviously continues his feeble attempts at undermining Hanson and One Nation.
@
who in their right mind would invest is renewable scam operated data centres? what a joke
@
You can be 100% Albo has no idea what he’s talking about.
There will no net benefit to the Australian economy, only certain misery and increased surveillance on every human in Australia.
@
Data mining eh!
@
Federal Labor and their advisors are idiots, they would have to produce a "clean room" AI, not starting from any base model or open source model, for two reasons, national security and because of the copyright laws that they also proposed. This would cost AUD $100 billion based on the projected costs to replicate XAI's Grok. Australia also does not have the power production capacity for such systems, because of other idiotic Labor policies around renewable technology etc.
@
Liebor is pushing for more data centres for the government to keep more and more information about the people.
@
Where’s Rita and Rowan?
@
Diabolical !
@
This is BS. He will change his mind again and Aussie’s will have to pay. Don’t forget that these will be overseas companies and the money goes off shore. So how will it benefit us. How about the government as their employers - US🤬🤬🤬🤬
@

It's a start, June, but I wonder how these will align with global frameworks like those in the EU. Consistency across borders is what will actually provide real peace of mind.

Good morning, everyone. It’s a lot to take in so early, but seeing Australia set some clear standards for AI feels like a steady step in the right direction. I'm curious, does having these guidelines make you feel more at ease about the tech, or do you still have some reservations?
@
Can AI feed my kids please?
@
LMAO, what this govt knows about AI you could write on the head of a pins and have enough space left to wtite the New Testament. If KRUDD has had anything to do with it, follow the money and see how much KRUDD the DUD and AIRBUS ALBO manage to skim off the top. Where is all these Electricity Data Centres are going to get the power from. Renewable some times working if the sun is shining and the wind is blowing.
@
AI is over rated rubbish... only good for writing documents and programming... its utterly utterly clueless for anything else...

The Government lacks intelligence. Tax and spend. Woke policies. The AI bubble may well burst or worse, increase unemployment.
@
Albo has no clue about Ai or data centres
