The short version
AI is moving faster than most governments and businesses, and faster than the systems around them. This is a frank conversation about what that means for an established Australian business, and where Kim, Tiffany and Rod don't see it the same way.
The questions on the table
Kim, Tiffany and Rod don't land in the same place on all of these, which is the point.
- Who's responsible when an agent finds its way around a protection: the business, the frontier labs or the government?
- What governance and transparency need to look like before the privacy changes arrive on 10 December 2026
- Should the most powerful models be open to everyone, or kept for the people solving the biggest problems?
- Do you actually need the newest model for everyday business work?
- Data centres are heading for regional Australia. What does doing it properly look like?
The good news
It isn't all heavy. Tiffany reports back from Ag Tech Alley at the Henty Machinery Field Days, where some of the people leading the way on AI aren't who you'd expect. Rod and Kim add what they're building for clients right now.
How AI Collab thinks about it
Kim's view is that the next 12 months will decide which businesses become AI-forward and which don't, and that the way through is leading it responsibly and safely rather than waiting it out. That's the work behind the AI for Teams Toolkit and our governance work.
