Tax reform to encourage investment of all types is clearly a major issue. As Commonwealth Bank chief executive Matt Comyn pointed out, the way many foreign nations have made AI capacity an issue of national security and national economic security means the Australian government will need to think hard about how big Australia’s home-grown AI sector needs to be. And the obvious question is how we encourage and pay for that investment.
