Everyone's talking about how much power AI will need. Almost no one is talking about where that power is going to come from. In Australia, the honest answer is gas, and a mountain of dodgy offsets to make it look clean.
On this episode of What’s the Point?, Richard Denniss examines Australia’s artificial intelligence boom and the political fight over who reaps the rewards.
This episode was recorded on Friday 4 September.
