A day at Parliament House discussing Australia’s future and sharing the AI panel with a humanoid robot. At Australian Industry Group’s National Forum, “Industry Meets Parliament”, the big questions were productivity, competitive industries and opportunity for the next generation. Having a humanoid alongside us made the conversation about physical AI tangible and igniting much joy in both the dancing ability and conversation. ❓ What could it mean for inspecting infrastructure, handling repetitive tasks and reducing people’s exposure to dangerous work?
📣 My message was simple: the shift happens when we stop asking, “What can this tool do?” and start asking, “How should the work change?”
🤖 Imagine a robot inspecting an asset, generative AI helping interpret the findings, and an AI agent arranging approved maintenance. Now we are redesigning a workflow with people accountable for the outcome.
Through @ainativefutures we help organisations make that transition. With Chisholm Institute, we are developing an immersive AI learning experience that brings industry, educators and learners together to explore physical AI, robotics and the future of work. Leaders bring their people with them. They invest in AI-native training, create opportunities to experience and challenge the technology, and measure whether the work actually improves. Buying AI is a procurement decision. Becoming AI-native is a leadership decision. Across the wider forum, three themes stood out:
🇦🇺 Opportunity and industrial capability. Anthony Albanese emphasised collaboration and regional relationships. Angus Taylor focused on restoring hope and competitiveness. Andrew Hastie challenged how Australia translates its resource strengths into industrial capability.
⚡Energy and investment. Views differed sharply: Albanese discussed the energy transition and gas; Pauline Hanson called for cheaper power and rejection of climate targets; Allegra Spender connected reducing regulatory burdens with care for people and the environment.
📈 Productivity. Paul Bloxham highlighted weak productivity performance. Cherelle Murphy explored uneven job creation across the economy especially in government funded sectors
