- Establishing a new AI Office
- Speeding up data center approvals
- Using a single framework to coordinate economic, social, security, and environmental issues
The post also seizes the opportunity to send a signal to Nordic/European investors: if you want less regulatory friction, Australia is taking a "low-friction" route for AI infrastructure and implementation.
