What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

RBA Governor Michele Bullock discussed the potential impact of the AI revolution on productivity, wages, and Australian jobs. While Commonwealth Bank and artificial intelligence firm Anthropic share the view that AI could deliver a productivity bonanza for Australia, this view contrasts with the Treasurer's more optimistic outlook. Bullock noted that while Treasury tipped productivity recovery within five years, there is currently no clear evidence of AI tools boosting productivity, suggesting benefits could be 10 years away.
