ABC Business Daily · Albanese weighs in on the AI economy · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

So instead of the let it rip, he wants to see cooperation with states and territories on a couple of these key things.

So this is expectations around data centres, copyright protection for the inputs, the stuff that goes into making AI so smart, and the impact of AI on workers.

So large AI data centres will be discussed in a meeting next month.

They've been one of the key flashpoints because they're one of the very

physical, tangible impacts that we're seeing from AI.

Do you think that that's been the biggest flashpoint so far because it's something that we can get our head around, that there is this massive hulking warehouses, use a lot of water, use a lot of energy, and pushing up the costs for those situated in places we can actually see, whereas the rest of AI is quite ethereal to get around as a concept?

Really interesting thing happened here.

A statement released Monday, US time, signed by over 200 economists and tech leaders, Nobel Prize winners, essentially warning about AI.

Basically, their message was that increasingly capable systems could reshape the economy at immense speed.

How much impact does it have when you have such eminent people getting together to sound what is really like the ringing of a bell, a warning about the unchecked way that we're heading forward?

So I guess the Australian government's attempt today to set up an office to try and put a string lasso around the elephant that is heading off is, I guess, a start to try and

achieve some of the gains, try and get some of the gains here, that dislocation potential is really real.

You know, this is much faster than, as they discussed, the Industrial Revolution.

This is happening really quickly, and it is happening through a handful of companies that are developing this technology that is...

you know, really wreaking havoc to the models.

It is keeping a lot of people up at night.

When you see statements like this, when you see the potential for what it can do, what do you think are the chances that Australia is going to be able to harness this positively for business, for industry, for workers, rather than have it happen to us?

The more you dig into AI, the pace of it is just what's so astonishing.

You talk to companies and their long-term goals and forecasts and strategy are 18 months.

You know, we're talking in pace of weeks and months with developments.
