Show notes

The ACTU’s Assistant Secretary takes us through the multiple challenges AI poses workers and the pressure points where unions are pushing back.

Regular panellists Digital Rights Watch Chair Lizzie O’Shea, Health Engine CEO Dan Stinton and Per Capita’s Peter Lewis also delve into:

  • Anthropic’s pitch to Canberra

  • slop-aganda in the Iranian war

  • and a new platform to Surf the fedi-verse
