Yeah, and as part of this, the government's also opened consultation on national AI standards. voice-verified

So that'll cover things like data centres and the training of artificial intelligence models in Australia, which we also discussed this week, Chris, in relation to using the work of Australian artists and musicians to train large language models and AI. voice-verified
