What happened
Treasurer Jim Chalmers released the Intergenerational Report (IGR) on Monday. The report states that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be a defining influence on Australia's economy over the next 40 years. The findings suggest Australia is expected to experience lower growth, a decline in the birth rate, and unending budget deficits. The report emphasizes that the potential benefits of AI depend on how extensively it is adopted and Australia's position in global supply chains.

Why it matters
The IGR, prepared by the Treasury, presents a mixed outlook for the country. It argues that Australia is well placed to leverage technological change to overcome these challenges. The report was launched as part of the government's initiatives discussed in the recent budget.
