kudos to the tech comms person who came up with "we don't sell your data"! it's done an incredible job of placating people's fears about surveillance, while actually not denying it (adtech companies don't sell troves of data, they sell access to the users targeted using that data)

Australia is getting a AI Safety Institute. So, what does the government think is the biggest risk from AI?
Is it catastrophic threats like Skynet, current issues like deepfakes or squandering AI's potential with red tape?
