Episode Description
In this episode, Sarah breaks down why we should all care about the mass Telstra outage even if we weren’t directly affected, why it’s political, and the case for a new legal obligation on telecommunications companies that requires them to deliver a reliable service.
Sarah then sits down for a conversation with Edward Santow, a former Australian Human Rights Commissioner and current Director of Policy & Governance at the Human Technology Institute where he leads a number of initiatives to promote human-centred artificial intelligence. Sarah and Ed cut through the tech spin with the facts about AI, how it intersects with human rights, and what governments need to do to regulate Australia’s data centre boom to ensure our environment, water and communities are protected. This episode will give you the information you want for the conversations everyone’s having about the AI boom right now.
