Would it not be the right and proper thing for Australia to say now, this is your final warning, this happens one more time, you're leaving?

Carole WalkerGUEST
It's clearly an option available to Australia, but I think like many other countries around the world, they're still really struggling to work out what their overall government approach strategy should be towards all of this, because all countries and governments recognise that there are huge benefits to artificial intelligence.

Carole WalkerGUEST
I mean, the irony of this is that it's a hack into a healthcare system, and we know that Healthcare is one of the areas where AI has actually proved very beneficial in terms of speeding up processes, checking scans, screenings, all of those kinds of things.

Carole WalkerGUEST
But I think it has also just exposed the fact that The governments, their processes, their systems of working are just way behind where the technology is going.
