Shane Reti: Science Minister on the Government's first AI strategy - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Government's making moves to ensure we'll no longer lag behind when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. 

Science Minister Shane Reti's announced the Government's first strategy for using AI - claiming it'll reduce barriers to adoption and promote responsible use.  

He says it could lift our GDP by $76 billion by 2038.  

Reti told Heather du Plessis-Allan the strategy's a signal to both businesses and the community over what policy settings the Government will follow. 

He says modelling suggests AI use could free up an hour a day of working time for businesses.  

Reti says that's an hour that can be better spent on other high value tasks.
