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.
