Carving a middle path on AI

I finally had a chance to sit down and process last week’s Public Sector Network Government Innovation Week in Melbourne… and there’s a lot that’s still rattling around in my head. From Minister Danny Pearson’s take on the “middle path” for AI, to the growing sense that Agentic AI is about to change the game (for better and worse), this week felt like a glimpse into where government is heading next. So I pulled together a quick post-game reflection to make sense of it all — what stood out, what matters, and what I’ll be watching closely from here. If you care about where government + tech is going, this one’s worth a watch.
