The office will coordinate AI policy across government, design Australian AI standards, and address economic, social, security, and environmental dimensions of AI under one framework. Albanese also pledged strong copyright protections for Australian creatives, ruling out a text and data mining exemption that would have allowed AI firms to train on Australian content without payment. New binding standards for data centres were also outlined, requiring operators to underwrite new power supply, generate renewable energy, reduce water use, and not compete with housing for land. Industry groups and AI companies including Anthropic and Microsoft responded cautiously, while critics warned the government was moving too slowly on concrete AI guardrails. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
