Hollingworth and Croft open up proceedings with more views on the Australian Productivity Commission’s suggestion that AI companies should have full access to the sum total of Australian artistic output. Both Peter Garrett and Tony Burke are against it, but there are still some Aussie executives who feel it’s a good idea. Hollingworth also brings up a couple of reasons why artificial intelligence still lacks intelligence.
The big hacking news this week is the formation of a possible hacking super group, as the notorious ShinyHunters and Scattered Spider collectives merge. Is this the real deal, and a threat to companies around the globe, or just hacker hot air? The pair also discuss the week in Australian cyber crime, and it’s not been a great week for Aussie organisations.
Hollingworth and Croft then catch up on the latest cyber crime statistics from the Australian Institute of Criminology, before taking a lighthearted look at the depiction of hacking in the latest streaming stinker from Amazon.
