Summary

A new report finds that Australia has significant potential to become a major regional data centre hub, leverage its critical minerals in global AI supply chains, and influence global AI norms. However, the report highlights critical gaps in Australia's regulatory controls around data collection, storage, and access that need to be addressed to uphold privacy and human rights. It calls for governments to pay more attention to these regulatory shortcomings to fully capitalize on AI opportunities.
