3. New research identifies Australia's most promising opportunities in the global AI economy. 

A new report has revealed how Australia can lead in the new global AI economy, highlighting the nation’s most promising opportunities across all the components that power generative AI technology.
The report, Australia’s opportunity in the new AI economy, is a collaboration between Microsoft and economics, policy and strategy consultancy Mandala Partners. It identifies applications, AI datacentres and data as the nation’s most promising opportunities for impact in the rapidly growing global AI economy, based on the tech layers that underpin generative AI.
Together, these areas represent 90 per cent of the projected A$18.8 billion in annual revenue that Australia could generate across the entire generative AI tech ‘stack’ by 2035.
