It's just been established. It's just been established less than one year ago. Funding decisions are made through our ERC and budget process. So we think that we want to make sure this follows best practice AI safety and security standards. We want to make sure that it works in ways that ensure Australian creators are in control of and retain ownership of their work and payment. And we want to make sure that data centres used for AI training aren't pushing up energy bills, impacting water resources or being built without meaningful community engagement.
