Clear and Present Danger: rogue AI and the $37 billion threat to business - Switzer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
World, we have a problem. It’s the potential of AI agents to go rogue and, apart from threatening the lives of everyone in the world, its threat to cybersecurity has experts telling us that Australian businesses could lose $37 billion by 2030. AI agents are well-known software systems that answer your questions, perform tasks and can even think for themselves to ensure greater assistance to their ‘master’: you! But the problem is that these AI agents, such as Claude or ChatGPT, are starting to a

Psst. Want to hear a secret? Economists don’t know what’s going on but it doesn’t stop me from reading and interviewing them! In simple terms, I respect them, but I know they are fallible. Why?

And that’s going to be a big discussion point for the RBA board before it hands down its highly anticipated interest rate decision on September 29. This ‘buil

Donald Trump has two sides. One side takes actions to stimulate the US economy via business supportive policies, which sometimes are outside the square. The other side manipulates his media messages, which have proven to be unreliable, with his many “war is over” public revelations being a case in point. And news out today tells us Treasurer Chalmers seems to be taking Trump lessons on delivering dodgy media releases, while unfortunately he’s yet to take a Trump tutorial on how to back business.
