The Albanese government will develop a National AI Capability Plan to better capture the technology's economic and productivity benefits in Australia, where adoption lags behind global peers. But will Labor be around at the end of 2025 to present the report?

🔮 Want to know how to use AI to predict government activity and turn regulation into alpha? Bilby is leveraging narrow AI and transforming how businesses navigate government policy. What sets them apart: • Proprietary AI models analyze 100M+ documents and billions of data points to quantify probabilities of future government actions. • Acts as a co-pilot for investors and executives, helping them master policies and regulations to make informed decisions. • Impressive traction with blue-chip clients, including some of the world's top companies by market cap. 📊 BilbyAI is creating a new market for structured government data, similar to what Bloomberg Terminal did for financial data. Their scalable approach and laser focus on government data sets them apart in this untapped market. Led by Dr. Ryan Manuel and Dr. Stephen Enright-Ward, the team brings decades of expertise in political science, AI, and data analysis. 💰 BilbyAI has fully closed its latest funding round from existing investors. However Brinc is using its pro-rata rights to offer a limited allocation to accredited investors through AngelList.

Public sector leaders beware! The private sector is much less keen on AI than big tech and its proxies would have you believe. It could be a matter of slow adoption but as this article from The Economist suggests: it could also be that AI is just not as good or transformative as is claimed. If this is true (and it is still early days) this has much deeper implications for public services than the availability of good tech. A major reason that funding for the public sector has dropped is lower tax revenues from the UK’s weak economic growth. AI it was hoped would massively boost productivity and hence reverse that trend. But if it turns out, as it did for the earlier wave of tech around PCs and the internet, that AI has little long-run impact on productivity, then this hope will be dashed. Policymakers and business leaders will once again be left scratching their heads about how to resolve sluggish productivity that some argue actually began way back in the 1970s. It all suggests that betting the farm on AI resolving the deep problems in public services would be extremely foolhardy. Instead, government and public sector leaders should learn from the range of remarkable innovations happening on the frontline. These rely not on whizzy, expensive tech speeding up processing but on the very opposite: taking more time to listen, to understand and to build relationships. An approach that is proving to be a more reliable route to more integrated, more preventative, more human care. #AI #publicservices #localgov #tech #productivity Dominic Campbell Matthew Skinner Rachel Coldicutt Pritesh Mistry https://lnkd.in/epYU4ugM

Our founder, Dr. Hector Zenil, was featured in AI Business where editor Berenice Baker highlighted his insights in response to Prime Minister Keir Starmer today’s announcement on AI investment in the U.K. UK Unveils AI Opportunities Action Plan: Industry Reacts https://lnkd.in/eUK-9Etf While the announcement of big data centers and access to supercomputers is welcome, Dr. Zenil believes that the government must address the investment gap left by British and European venture capitalists, who have far less appetite for risk compared to their U.S. counterparts. This disparity causes the U.K. to lag behind American companies, despite having talent of equal or greater calibre per number of inhabitants. #ai #aiuk #ai4science #agi #precisionhealthcare #predictivemedicine

The AI Alliance’s collaborative network is committed to building, enabling, and advocating for open source innovation in #AI – and today, we’re celebrating our one-year anniversary.   Over the last year, we’ve made important progress toward ensuring that all AI technology is accessible, trusted, and beneficial to users. We’ve published 5 AI Alliance Guides to AI, contributed to government thinking on policies impacting open innovation, and kickstarted over 90 projects – but this is just the beginning. Today, we’re committing to scale up the breadth of our reach and impact by 10x in the new year. As part of this, we’re announcing two new major initiatives: Our Trust and Safety Evaluation Initiative and our Open Trusted Data Initiative.   IBM is proud to be one of 140+ organizations involved in this community. As we head into 2025, we’re ready to build upon our success and expand our impact with new members and new initiatives. https://lnkd.in/gNeJEZWM

🌍 Have you heard? The UK is currently lacking the critical infrastructure needed to truly establish itself as a global AI hub. Shocking, right? 🤯 It’s a fact that while the UK has made strides in the AI landscape, it's only scratching the surface of what’s required. The benefit? With a concerted effort to bolster our tech ecosystem, we could not only enhance innovation but also spur massive job creation and economic growth. Imagine a world where the UK isn’t just participating in the AI revolution, but leading it! What do you think are the biggest hurdles to turning this vision into reality? Let’s chat in the comments! 🤔💬 "Content Automated By Blankflow.ai" #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #UKTech https://lnkd.in/g3EyCjuV

BILLION I TELL YA, BILLIONS! $290B in 2030. We should get ourselves some of that action. You want more productivity Ed Husic MP? Here it is, writ large. Even if Google is out by half, we'd be mad not to look super seriously at the opportunities that #AI and the technology revolution represent. Our software industry is kicking off, with thousands of businesses already making their way, and many more on the way up. And the more AI gets going, the greater the opportunity to digitise Australia. But it's only going to happen once in my lifetime, so now is the time to get on with it. #MrSaaSSays - Digging big holes and growing stuff. Important, but so yesterday. https://lnkd.in/dCqg6gsG

Good piece Simon Bush... '"The Productivity Commission’s 2024 AI report aptly states, “focus is needed on policy interventions that effectively support safe AI uptake and productivity—particularly governments leading by example in their AI procurement and use.” With anaemic GDP growth of just 1 per cent over the year to end of June 2024 and 0.2 per cent in the June quarter, it is clear that more decisive action is required.'" #sovereignAI #sovereigncapability #technology #AI Macquarie Data Centres
