+# A reply to Accelerating Australia's AI Agenda
+
+Yes, Australia must seize opportunities presented by AI to improve productivity. However, we need balance. It is vital that this happens without impeding efforts against unemployment and casualization – though are they bad? Policy settings should ensure:
+
+*   **Research & Development**: Government support.
+*   **Data center build (development?).** The idea of leading implies attracting talent back from the US due to hostility towards higher education there, but we don't have those policies.
+*   **Public Sector AI** must be fit for purpose and not worsen poor service delivery – an ambitious goal!
+*   **Skills** are crucial. Not just research skills; application is different too:
+    *   **Private sector** needs R&D funding.
+    *   **Focus on small enterprises:** big businesses can look after themselves (up to 30% productivity gains in document processing alone!).
+
+**Security** paramount, identifying safe data usage. AI Maker hard without correct policy settings for Research & Development and Data Centers. Consider our tax system:
+
+1.  Reduce high taxes on venture capitalists/income earners.
+2.  Increase rates from industries barely paying any (e.g., oil/gas).
+Small businesses need encouragement through the tax system to move here – reduce overall paid tax. Don't tie AI up in bureaucracy by creating "Chief AI Officers" without right policies and guardrails for private sector direction via incentives, particularly:
+
+*   **Administrative assistants:** freeing doctors/nurses.
+*   **Reference Assistants** for Emergency services with updated info on risky questions (e.g., building entry rights).
+
+**AI Skills** development needs attention:
+
+1.  **Apprenticeship model** – should we eliminate higher education completely?
+2.  **Scientist vs Engineer analogy** useful. Do credentials matter? Often a shortcut without real skill?
+
+No separate AI Safety Institute unless enforcing ethical dilemmas criminally is viable. Identify key public sector data and release in machine-consumable ways (poppler-utils, pandoc). Reform copyright – fair use needs rethinking across the board. No country perfectly gets this right.
+
+AI should enhance not hinder or take over our work process!
+
+Cheers to balancing AI opportunities with responsible policies for Australia!
