There's now a Parliamentary Friendship Group on Tech and Innovation that will "provide a forum for industry and parliamentarians on productivity-enhancing technologies like artificial intelligence, as well as run briefings and events on the latest research and development trends, as well as economic and investment trends". It will be co-chaired by Labor MP Jerome Laxale, Liberal MP Aaron Violi, and Independent MP Allegra Spender. Their first meeting was an event co-hosted by the Technology Council of Australia (TCA) and the Business Council of Australia (BCA) and reps from Atlassian, Accenture, Cochlear, Google, Harrison.AI, SEEK, and Xero attended. What a nice little package for all the lobbyists hanging around Canberra.
