I move:

That this House:

(1) acknowledges the opportunities generative artificial intelligence (AI) will have on the Australian economy;

(2) notes the AI driven productivity and innovation boosts already occurring in Australian businesses and households;

(3) further acknowledges Australia's global AI competitive advantage and the risks associated with not grasping our AI opportunities; and

(4) further notes the speed at which AI technology is developing, and that Government must keep up with community expectations by ensuring Australians have access to reliable AI technologies domestically and that their governments create efficiencies by embracing new technologies such as AI as they develop.

This motion is an important one because technology has a core responsibility and opportunity to solve many of the challenges that we face. In many ways, the private sector is leading when it comes to artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can solve many of these challenges, including productivity, which is down over five per cent since the Albanese Labor government came to power in 2022. If you want to deliver sustainable economic growth, sustainable wages growth and opportunities, you need to have strong productivity growth within our economy. Businesses want to invest and they are investing. However, I speak to so many in the tech sector and in all business, because AI impacts all through every business, and they need certainty. They want certainty. They are frustrated and they are angry because there is a government—the Albanese Labor government—missing in action.

Business is not sure how to invest or where to invest without knowing the rules of engagement. For three years this government has been silent when it comes to AI. They released the Supporting responsible AI: discussion paper. It took 18 months for that release to then become a next step. The next step was more consultation. We are three years in with no certainty. The then minister for industry and science has been knifed by, in his own words, 'factional assassins' of the Deputy Prime Minister, and we have a new minister for industry and science who is now trying to get up to speed, but days and weeks and months cost for our businesses. We need to have that clear direction. We need to acknowledge that there is risk, but we need to make sure we mitigate that risk with guardrails. We need to understand that, because of the speed at which it moves, we cannot outregulate and outlegislate technology. Guardrails give that certainty to business so they can invest.

Let's understand some of the opportunities. Let's look at the public sector. At a time when the budget, as the Treasury's leaked report has shown, has deficits as far as the eye can see, we need to make sure that we spend taxpayer money well. We need to make sure that the Public Service is delivering really well for our communities. The Public Service used Microsoft Copilot as a trial for artificial intelligence to see some of the benefits they could gain. The post-trial survey showed that 69 per cent of those who undertook that trial agreed that it improved the speed of completing tasks, and 61 per cent agreed that it improved work quality. That's just one example of many of how, with a dedicated strategy for our Public Service, we can deliver better value for the taxpayer and, most importantly, better value for those that rely on services like Services Australia, the NDIS and many others.

Just last week, a survey of 2,300 people showed that AI in the workplace had an 88 per cent increase in ROI for those that were using that platform. Ninety-six per cent saved time, and 94 per cent increased productivity within their company. This is what businesses are doing in Australia today, with the government missing in action. Imagine what can be achieved for the Australian economy and for businesses with a bit of direction from this government.

But it's not just about the economic benefits. Annalise.ai is an amazing AI company that I've spoken about previously. It is using artificial intelligence to support radiologists to make sure they can look at scans; there are reports of AI technology finding tumours in lungs that the human eye cannot see. It also triages thousands and thousands of scans to make sure that the radiologists are spending their time looking at the high-risk patients. This is another example of improving outcomes for Australians, ensuring that the people using AI are not taken out of the loop but that their valuable skills and their valuable time are put towards delivering better outcomes for the Australian people.

There is no other technology that exists today that can solve so many challenges that we face. We bring this motion because this government is completely missing on AI, except for the Treasurer putting a buzzword in a speech every second day.

I welcome this motion from the opposition and particularly from my good friend the member for Casey, although I might not agree with some of his editorial comments. It's not every day that we get a moment of consensus in this place, but, when it comes to artificial intelligence, we all know that the stakes are high and that the opportunity is enormous.

AI has the potential to transform our economy, to lift productivity, to solve complex national challenges and to make everyday life easier for Australians. Whether it's improving health care, boosting productivity, helping small businesses with day-to-day operations or helping individuals navigate complex data, the impact is already being felt right across Australia. In fact some modelling tells us that AI could contribute up to $200 billion a year to Australia's GDP by 2030 and create an extra 150,000 jobs. But those outcomes don't just happen by default; they require deliberate action, they require investment, they require guardrails and, importantly, they require public trust. That's exactly what our government is seeking to do. We're taking a clear-eyed, proactive and strategic approach to the opportunities and the risks of artificial intelligence.

Our vision is for Australia to be more than just a consumer of AI; we want to be developers, deployers, adaptors and trusted users. And we're building that capability from the ground up. That's why we've allocated a billion dollars through the National Reconstruction Fund to support critical technologies like AI, backing sovereign capability and helping turn great Australian research into commercial products and services. We've also committed $17 million to set up AI Adopt centres across the country so that small and medium businesses can access the tools and advice they need to adopt AI safely and effectively. At the same time, we're investing in the workforce that will power this future, with $47 million going into the Next Generation Graduates Program to train job-ready talent in AI and emerging technologies. It's being done through programs like the Industry Growth Program and the R&D tax incentive which supported nearly $1½ billion in AI related projects last year. We're also backing start-ups and researchers to scale their work and push the boundaries to see what's possible. All of this adds up to a serious and sustained commitment not just to using AI but to leading in its development and application right here in Australia for the world. But capability without trust gets us nowhere. At last count, 50 per cent of Australians use AI regularly but only 36 per cent say they trust it. This is a serious gap, and, if we don't close it, we risk losing the social licence to use these tools at scale.

A huge shout out to Simon Kennedy—no, not the member for Cook, who's here—who lives in Lane Cove. He's head of the Australian Association of Voice Actors. Simon is a local comedian and a voice actor. He understands the inevitability of AI in his workplace and our workplace, but not at the expense of his personal intellectual property. AI unchecked can mimic Simon's voice with only three seconds of audio. Simon's voice is his and should not be used without his consent.

Ethics in AI is so important, which is why we're embedding it into everything we do on AI. Australia was one of the first countries to develop a set of national AI ethics principles. These guide responsible development and ensure that our approach aligns with community standards. We're also making sure that existing laws apply to AI—privacy protections, consumer laws, antidiscrimination legislation, online safety regulations and the list goes on. These frameworks already provide critical safeguards, and we're ensuring that they keep pace with technology. We're investing in the scientific understanding of AI systems, not just how they work but how they fail. We want to know where the risks lie and how we can mitigate harm before it happens, and we're engaging globally. We've signed onto the Bletchley declaration, the Seoul declaration and the Hiroshima AI process. We're active participants in an international network of AI safety institutes.

You'll see from that list—and I could go on, but I'm running out of time—a very different characterisation of what this government is doing in the AI space. It's very different to that presented by the member for Casey in moving his motion. I'm sure we'll have a bit of back and forth here, but this is a really crucial piece of public policy that we need to undertake, and it's the Albanese government that will do it.

Artificial intelligence is going to be as revolutionary to our society and our economy as the internet was. Generative AI is not just a new technology; it's an entirely new economic frontier. Right now, Australian businesses are already using this every day in their work—84 per cent of knowledge workers in Australia are already using AI tools in their jobs. This isn't about the future; it's happening now, but it will only accelerate. The opportunity is enormous. The Tech Council of Australia estimates AI could add up to $115 billion to our GDP by 2030. This is a global race, but, unfortunately, the sad news is, under the Labor government, we've already fallen behind. Let's be clear, AI and the AI economy do not run on buzzwords; they run on infrastructure, on skills and, above all, on energy.

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, recently warned the US Congress that the energy demanded by AI could rise from three per cent today to 99 per cent of total power demand. Eric estimated that the US would need 67 more gigawatts by 2030—an absolutely staggering figure. McKinsey estimates the demand from generative AI could increase by up to 500 per cent by 2030. Other countries are responding. The US, the UK and China are all racing to secure reliable, industrial-strength energy for the next generation of our industries—AI, blockchain, clean manufacturing and nuclear. At COP29, the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany and Korea joined 31 nations committing to triple nuclear capacity by 2050. In the words of Eric Schmidt to US Congress, 'We need energy in all forms, and it needs to be there quickly for AI.' What is the Labor government doing? Nothing that looks remotely like a plan. Prime Minister Albanese and the Minister for Climate Change and Energy are playing with our energy system like children playing with toys—flicking switches they don't understand and pulling levers with no idea what they control. While Albo and Bowen play, we pay. We pay higher bills, we pay with lost jobs and we pay when global companies choose not to build here because energy in Australia is too expensive and too unstable. Under Labor, household bills are up by more than 20 per cent. Households in my electorate are paying more than $1,000 a year than they were three years ago.

Once, in 2004, Australia was ranked in the top five cheapest countries in the OECD for residential power. Today, we are ranked in the top five most expensive. Wholesale power prices are twice in Australia what they are in the United States. That's not just bad luck; that's the result of bad government. This is what happens when ideology replaces engineering, when targets become before transition and when the energy minister confuses press conferences with power stations.

Labor energy policy isn't setting us up for AI; it's setting us up for our economy to fail. Australia is on track to miss the AI revolution. This isn't just about tech; this is about whether Australia can remain a serious industrial developed economy. Will we still make things here? Will we host high-performance computing? Will we catch the AI wave of economic growth? Right now, under Labor, the answer is no.

This is a government that cannot talk about Australia's future because it's torching the energy grid that it must be built on. Australia doesn't need more reviews; it needs results. It needs plans that match ambition with capability in energy, in regulation, in skills, in AI, in tech and in execution. Generative AI is not just a technology shift; it's a shift in global power, and, if we want Australia to lead, if we want Australia to keep pace, we need a government that grows up and starts seriously investing in our energy system.

At a recent visit to Murdoch University, in my electorate of Tangney, I was impressed by how this university is using artificial intelligence. There is a focus on how digital and AI capability can stimulate innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialisation of Murdoch research. There are opportunities to positively impact students, to transform research and to build a more inclusive and connected community.

Our Labor government wants to use the opportunities that come with AI to help improve life for working Australians. We want AI to help grow the economy and improve productivity while keeping Australians safe. AI can help solve some of the biggest challenges of the coming decades, challenges like reducing carbon emissions, challenges like improving health care. With incredible health and research campuses located right by Murdoch University, I'm especially excited about what healthcare challenges we might be able to solve right here in Tangney.

AI can contribute up to $200 billion a year to Australia's GDP. By 2030, it can create an additional 150,000 jobs. AI can increase annual labour productivity growth by over three per cent by 2030. We need to build AI capability so that we can ensure that Australia benefits from AI as developers, deployers, adaptors and users. This means having the right infrastructure, increasing AI skills and literacy and supporting industry innovation.

Australia can leverage our strengths, strengths in research and also as an incubator for innovation, with expertise in the agricultural, financial and health sectors. And we have many talented experts, people like Tangney's own Hamid Laga, from Murdoch University's School of Information Technology. Professor Laga's work in AI saw him awarded a prestigious Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. Professor Laga will develop targeted mathematical tools and new machine-learning algorithms. Benefits from this research will be seen in the fields of computer vision and graphics, biology and health. These benefits will be felt across Australia and internationally. Australia is also an attractive destination for data centres. Investment in data centres will drive innovation in AI and lead to economic growth, ensuring we remain competitive on the global stage. Sustainable data centre investment is important. As the uptake in AI and data-intensive applications increases, so too does demand for energy and water. We need to minimise the impact on our natural resources, support the transition to net zero and ensure the benefits are shared across the community.

The government is also supporting the growth of AI companies. This includes a $17 million network of government funded AI Adopt Centres to help small to medium Australian enterprises responsibly adopt AI tools, the $47 million Next Generation Graduates programs to train job-ready graduates in skills needed by our AI and emerging technology industries, and $15 billion for the National Reconstruction Fund, providing targeted investment to diversify and transform Australian industry. This includes $1 billion for critical technologies, including AI. AI is vital to Australia's future economic resilience, competitiveness and productivity. In the Labor government, we are doing it.

Cameron Caldwell (Fadden, Liberal National Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I rise to support this motion from the member for Casey, because artificial intelligence is no longer coming; it's already here. It's in our homes, our schools, our workplaces and, yes, even the way our kids are doing their homework. AI is developing fast, and, if we don't get serious about it—really serious—then Australia risks being left well behind. The opportunities in front of us are massive. This technology can lift productivity, streamline services and spark new industries. Across electorates like mine, in the northern Gold Coast, we know what it means to adapt, to innovate and to get on with the job when change arrives. Our part of the world doesn't sit back and wait for government to catch up, but that's exactly the problem. While Australians and their communities are moving ahead, this Labor government is stuck at the lights, looking in the rear-vision mirror. We've had talkfests. We've had discussion papers. But what we haven't had is a real plan and real action.

While other nations are investing in digital infrastructure, AI education and industry partnerships, Labor is still forming committees. Let's be honest. When the Prime Minister was asked about ChatGPT, he looked like he thought it was a breakfast cereal. You cannot lead a country through a digital revolution when you don't understand the tools that are at the centre of it. Labor says it wants to deliver efficiencies through AI. How about starting with the basics, like getting Centrelink to pick up the phone or stopping the delays in Medicare processing that are frustrating Australians right across the country? They talk a big game on innovation, but what have they actually done—raised energy costs, floated new taxes, throttled business confidence. You can't run a modern economy, let alone an AI economy, on uncertainty and ideology. You need reliability, affordability and a government that backs people to have a go. Under Labor, we've seen the opposite. Energy bills are up, red tape is up and confidence is down—and there is a digital agenda that moves slower than a buffering livestream. I support this motion because I support technology that works for people, not the other way around.

We on this side believe AI should be used to make life easier, not more bureaucratic. We believe government should use these tools to serve Australians better, not create another excuse for inaction. And we believe in backing Australians with the skills and infrastructure to compete not just here but on the global stage. That means building a workforce that's ready and making sure the next generation of Australians can work with AI, not be replaced by it. And it means writing laws that protect our privacy and values without strangling the innovation that drives opportunity.

Australia is full of smart, capable and forward-looking people—people who run small businesses, raise families, employ apprentices and back themselves. They know how to work hard and how to adapt. But what they need and deserve is a government that will back them to succeed in an ever-changing world. Right now, they're not getting that. Instead of leading from the front, this Labor government is doing what it always does: try to wrap everything up in red tape and hope someone else figures it out. The AI revolution won't wait for Labor to catch up; it's already here. I want to see an Australia where AI helps reduce pressure on teachers, improves diagnosis in our health system and lets small businesses focus on growth, not red tape. I want to see public services become more efficient, not more robotic, and I want to see Australia as a leader in ethical, practical and locally driven AI. But we won't get there with a government stuck in the past.

I commend this motion moved by my good friend the member for Casey, and I say to the government: stop dithering, stop delaying and start delivering. The future won't wait, and neither will Australians.

I know they say comedy is subjective, but I probably would have engaged ChatGPT to write some better jokes! I'm pleased to be speaking on this motion today, brought to the House by the member for Casey, on the topic of AI. I trust the member for Casey is paying close attention to the things that are said in this Chamber today on this topic.

The Albanese Labor government is on record as stating it wants to seize the opportunities of AI in a way that improves the lives of working Australians. Indeed, in the last parliament I sat on committees that looked very carefully and seriously at the question of artificial intelligence in a range of settings. I was pleased by the bipartisan cooperation we were able to enjoy on those committees, and I invite the opposition to cooperate with the government once again.

Our approach to AI is consistent with our guiding principles—no-one held back, no-one left behind. We know AI and emerging technologies are creating new opportunities to increase our national competitive advantage. AI is vital to Australia's future economic resilience, competitiveness and productivity; we know this. AI can help solve some of the biggest challenges of the coming decades, including reducing carbon emissions, enhancing health care and improving citizens' interactions with one another and government.

In terms of the opportunity, we know AI has the potential to contribute up to $200 billion a year to Australia's GDP and to create an additional 150,000 jobs. Indeed, in my own electorate of Chisholm we have some of the country's brightest minds working in this space at our universities and within our business community. Deakin University, in my electorate, is home to the Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative. This initiative has a focus on the translation of fundamental research into tangible outcomes and products that affect the wider community, covering a range of projects from trauma support and aged care to advanced manufacturing and security. This demonstrates quite clearly the breadth of opportunity that educational institutions like Deakin University are investing in and helping to facilitate when it comes to the practical application of AI.

Our brightest minds are leveraging AI to work on projects that involve deep learning and machine learning on projects like early cerebral palsy screening, assistive technology and autism research. These are researchers working on projects such as the virtual dementia experience, which is an immersive, emotive and interactive experience that aims to capture and simulate the experience of living with dementia. The Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative enables Australian industries to leverage state-of-the-art breakthroughs within research settings and provides organisations the opportunity to explore otherwise unavailable solutions. I've taken ministers out to visit this facility, and I look forward to more visits to this outstanding university and to talking about this initiative over the course of the 48th Parliament. We know that building AI capability is critical to capturing the opportunity of AI. We know that Australia is an attractive place to invest because of its strategic location. And we also know Australia needs a regulatory environment that facilitates innovation while mitigating harms. And harm is a concern the community has, so it is our role as government to make sure we do what we can to mitigate those concerns.

We have a range of laws that regulate AI, including economy-wide laws on privacy, administrative law, online safety, corporations law, intellectual property, competition and consumer protection and antidiscrimination. We will continue to collaborate on the science of AI safety through the International Network of AI Safety Institutes. This is very important. When it comes to government initiatives concerning AI, we have of course established the $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund, providing targeted investment to diversify and transform Australian industry. Forgive me, Deputy Speaker, for not taking seriously the free advice issued by the opposition today in light of the fact that they have absolutely decimated industry and sovereign capability in this country.

We're going to invest a billion dollars for critical technologies, including AI. There are lots of other programs that I'm afraid my time is too brief to run through today. But there should be no question in anybody's mind in this place or in this country that our government takes very seriously the opportunities presented to us as a nation through artificial intelligence. Thank you so much.

Dai Le (Fowler, Independent) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Casey for bringing this motion forward and highlighting the growing importance of generative AI in our economy. In Fowler, our Western Sydney University is codesigning AI research and ethical curriculum frameworks across its campuses. We also have our Ingham Institute, home to the new centre for robotics and health technology research, which is leading work in AI, digital health, telehealth robotics and diagnostic innovation. Some great innovative AI work is happening in Fowler in Western Sydney.

Generative AI has the power to unlock extraordinary growth. By 2030, it could contribute up to $115 billion annually to Australia's economy through better productivity and entirely new industries. Businesses across Australia are already riding that wave. From Telstra to NAB and Bunnings, companies are using AI tools to streamline operations and free up staff to focus on high-value work. CEOs say this is unlocking efficiencies and supporting innovation. Salesforce found that 53 per cent of Australian professionals are already using or experimenting with generative AI at work, and 79 per cent report productivity improvements.

But with great change comes great responsibility. As we embrace the opportunities of AI, we must ensure consumer protections, workforce support and public trust. Otherwise, economic gains can mask deepening inequality, and communities like mine in Fowler could be left behind. Industry analysts warn that over 25 per cent of Australia's economy—almost $600 billion in activity—faces disruption from generative AI. An OpenAI CEO has predicted that up to 50 per cent of entry-level white-collar jobs could vanish in just five years. Even Australian firms like WiseTech are cutting jobs to drive AI based efficiency—a reminder that disruption is real and workplaces are changing fast.

We can't simply follow trend. We need leadership, we need a plan, and we need safeguards to keep people at the centre of change. So I ask the government: how are you protecting workers, consumers and small businesses, especially in multicultural communities like Fowler, from being left behind? What frameworks are being put in place to ensure: one—AI systems are transparent, unbiased and secure, particularly in sensitive sectors like finance and health; two—there is support for vocational educators, industry trainers and entrepreneurs to lead the AI skills innovation, not just rely on centralised institutions; three—there is funding for real retraining pathways for workers whose jobs are at risk of automation; and four—there is help for migrant-run small businesses to adopt AI responsibly and competitively?

We know that 75 per cent of Australian workers are worried about losing their jobs to AI, and many feel overwhelmed by the speed of change. But we also know that, when managed well, generative AI can elevate jobs, improve outcomes and boost national resilience.

Mandala Partners projects that nearly half of Australia's workforce—over 7 million people—will be impacted by generative AI, many positively. Studies have shown that lower skilled workers see the greatest productivity boost when supported by these tools. This is not just about technology; it's about trust. It's about ensuring that people are not passive bystanders in this transformation but active and empowered participants. Let Australia lead, not just in adoption but in ethical innovation, in inclusive growth and in ensuring that no community, including Fowler, is left behind. Let us ensure that AI works with people, not instead of them, and that we build a future where innovation is balanced with fairness and foresight. In the spirit of transparency, I won't say exactly how much generative AI helped write my speech, but let's just say it did have a hand in it.

Alison Byrnes (Cunningham, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Congratulations on your election to the speakers panel, Deputy Speaker Mascarenhas. I'm very pleased for you. Australia is standing at the edge of an extraordinary technological revolution, one that is already changing the way we live, the way we work and the way we interact with each other. Artificial intelligence is no longer a concept for the future; it is here. It is integrated in our workplaces. It's in the services that we use, and, increasingly, it's in the decisions that shape our daily lives. It is driving advances in health care, helping reduce carbon emissions and transforming industries, from manufacturing to agriculture. If we get this right, the benefits for Australia are immense. AI could contribute up to $200 billion a year to our GDP and create 150,000 additional jobs by 2030. It could increase annual labour productivity growth by more than three per cent over the same period. It is vital for our future that we embrace AI in a regulatory environment that facilitates innovation and also mitigates the harm that it could do. It is absolutely critical to get the balance right. We want an Australia where technology creates opportunity, not inequality, and where workers, businesses and communities all share in the benefits.

One of the biggest risks for Australia is falling behind in capability. We want to see investment in building our capabilities right here in Australia and not moving offshore. We need governments, unions and businesses all working together to get the best outcomes. We need to secure the Australian advantage, and that means leveraging the opportunities AI presents for improved efficiencies, better productivity and, ultimately, better competitiveness. We can already see businesses in Australia using artificial intelligence to power their operations and enhance their productivity. The latest AI Adoption Tracker shows 41 per cent of small and medium enterprises are currently using AI—a figure that keeps increasing. This is leading to improved decision-making and better productivity, which are really great to see.

The Albanese Labor government is working to improve our comparative advantages and grow the AI industry through our National AI Capability Plan. We want to upskill small and medium enterprises and train our future workers. Just one example is the microskill course Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, delivered by TAFE. I am so proud that this is a free, online course thanks to the Albanese Labor government. This is helping workers to find real work applications of AI. We've got the $47 million Next Generation Graduates Program which trains job-ready graduates in skills needed by our AI and emerging technology industries.

I'm also really proud of the role that the Illawarra is playing in this transition. The University of Wollongong's Centre for Artificial Intelligence is focusing on pioneering research to develop innovative theories and techniques of AI. The centre works to support the transfer of that knowledge into industry, community and science. As a community with a strong manufacturing base, innovating new and improved manufacturing processes, the Illawarra is perfectly placed to take advantage of the opportunities that AI can provide. At the same time, we need to make sure that this isn't at the cost of workers. Our focus needs to remain on delivering good, secure, well-paid jobs, and I was very pleased to hear our new minister for industry and innovation, Senator Tim Ayres, talk about strengthening worker voice and agency as technology is diffused into workplaces. This is really important, and I'm really proud to be part of a government that is prioritising this.

We are working across government to ensure there is clarity, consistency and certainty for the tech sector in delivering these improvements for our national interest. The National Artificial Intelligence Centre supports and accelerates our AI industry, aiming to help Australia become a global leader in developing and adopting trusted and secure and responsible AI. We're investing in the sector through our AI adoption centres and the National Reconstruction Fund, which targets critical technologies like AI.

Importantly, Australia is collaborating on the science of AI safety through the International Network of AI Safety Institutes. This network is ensuring international cooperation on AI safety, and that is a top priority—helping government and communities understand the risks posed by AI and working towards solutions to minimise harm.

There being no further speakers, the debate is adjourned and the resumption of the debate will be made an order of the day for the next day of sitting.
