Guest appearance on ABC Download This Show

The Australian Finance Industry Association has modelled AI's contribution to economic growth in the years ahead. It found that "scaling", or expanding, the use of AI could add up to $60 billion to GDP over the next decade. But who is actually going to benefit from this, and where are we getting these numbers from?

Also, we explain the blossoming $100 billion bromance between Nvidia and OpenAI, and how Gen Z elected their new PM via the gaming app Discord amidst a wave of protests.

Plus, the latest on the teen social media ban.

GUESTS: 

Mark Serrels, Editorial Director at CHOICE

Peter Marks, software developer at Access Informatics

Notes on my weird audio. I was remote and they couldn't get the normal iPDTL audio stuff to work so we connected using FaceTime Audio. Additionally, I've started using a RODECaster Duo and I had enabled the Aphex effects including the "Aural Exciter". It certainly makes me sound more punchy and nicely suppresses my microphone popping but on listening back I think I'll dial it back in future.
