Australia’s AI gap is organisational, not technological
from AI & Tech Daily with Jesse Owen Hosted by Jesse Owen
Treasury finds that Australian businesses are experimenting widely with AI but rarely changing work deeply enough to unlock substantial productivity gains. OpenAI expands advertising around ChatGPT conversations, NVIDIA invests in MediaTek as NVLink reaches custom accelerators, and Broadcom brings private AI infrastructure and agent controls into VMware. We also examine urgent ServiceNow security patches, GitHub’s evolving agent-session tools, Google DeepMind’s double-blind evaluation pilot, and Google Cloud’s open-source Data Agent Kit.
