"Our nation is experiencing its lowest productivity growth in 60 years,
according to the Committee for the Economic Development of Australia. And this
downturn is reflected across most advanced economies worldwide.
So it’s not surprising some see the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as
productivity’s saviour. Media articles herald a new era of high productivity
enabled by AI, and particularly by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and
DALL-E.
Similarly, the world’s top journals are filled with accounts of how AI has
enabled transformative leaps in research. Machine learning has been used, for
example, to predict the shape of proteins from DNA information, or to control
the shape of super-heated plasma in a nuclear fusion reaction. One team at
CSIRO designed an AI-based autonomous system that can manufacture and test
12,000 solar cell designs within 24 hours.
Does that mean we can flick the switch, leave it on auto, and go to the beach?
Not quite."
