- Description
- The Australian Government is calling for stronger global rules around artificial intelligence. But as AI agents become more capable and autonomous, the question is becoming increasingly urgent: can governments regulate AI before it gets ahead of them?
This week, prime minister Anthony Albanese announced a swarm of OpenAI's agents appeared to work together to circumvent cybersecurity defences and access Medicare health data.
But the US President Donald Trump has rejected calls for more AI guardrails, arguing the technology should instead be embraced as "super intelligence".
Alan Kohler sits down with Andrew Charlton, Assistant Minister for Science, Technology and the Digital Economy, to discuss who stands to benefit from the AI boom, who should control the technology, and whether Australia can shape the future of AI or will simply have to adapt to it.

- Inflation concerns intensified after a measure of US business activity jumped, the price of Brent Crude rose and there was a luke warm reception to a five-year US bond auction. The global benchmark US 10-year treasury yield jumped to 5.11%, its highest level since 2007, in what was its biggest one day move since Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement. Bond yields rose across the globe and Australia wasn't spared.
Kyle Rodda from Capital.com says investors need to get use to volatility, given the geopolitical, interest rate uncertainty and government spending, which is "unlikely to disappear any time soon."
Alicia Barry asked Kyle Rodda if this sell-off in bonds indicates investors have lost confidence in the Trump Administration's economic management. Kyle Rodda said that's only part of the reason.

- One rate hike can lock buyers out of the market for over a decade, says economist | The Business

- Date posted
- 13 days ago
- Description
- Ahead of a potential fourth interest rate rise from the RBA on Tuesday, new research shows just a quarter of a percentage point increase has an immediate and lasting effect on home affordability disproportionately hurting younger households. Using housing statistics and a detailed large-scale model, Dr James Graham from the School of Economics at the University of Sydney looked at how monetary policy affects Australians' ability to buy and own homes over time.
He revealed his early findings on The Business, telling Alicia Barry, "a standard 0.25 percentage point increase in interest rates leads to an immediate five percent decline in home purchases, and buying remains low for up to two years,"
Although home ownership eventually begins to recover, Dr Graham says the modelling shows it does not return to its pre-rate-rise level for more than a decade. "It's not everyone that's being locked out. It's a proportion of those potential home buyers. But for them, that...

- Unemployment has risen to the highest level since November 2021. But it was more people looking for work than losing their jobs that pushed up the numbers. The jobless rate rose to 4.6 per cent, up from 4.5 per cent in July.
39,500 more people found work. Employment minister Amanda Rishworth said "Australia's job market is incredibly resilient and indeed is incedibly strong compared to countries around the world."
EY regional chief economist, Cherelle Murphy said "the RBA unfortunately is going to have to see some deterioration in the jobs market before it can be convinced that the inflation number is coming down."
On Tuesday, RBA governor Michele Bullock said she thought an unemployment rate of somewhere between 4.5 and 5 per cent would "take enough heat out of the labour market" to ease pressure on inflation. Unions say that can only mean mass job cuts. ACTU secretary Melissa Donnelly said "based on today's figures, Michele Bullock's predi...
