Professor Stan Karanasios from the University of Queensland unpacks new Reserve Bank research showing that whilst two-thirds of Australian firms have adopted AI "in some form", most usage remains minimal due to skills shortages, regulatory uncertainty, and low trust in the technology. Hosts Dan and Mike also examine whether we're relying too heavily on too few tech companies after major outages from Cloudflare, AWS, and Azure disrupted global services, plus a massive AI-powered Centrelink phishing scam targeting 270,000 Australians.
