Description
Jacinta Allan joins Raf Epstein in the studio.
Summary
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan outlines her government's position on reining in the influence of social media companies and the unregulated use of artificial intelligence. While the discussion touches on state-level governance and accountability, it primarily addresses social harms rather than catastrophic or existential risks. The interview highlights an increasing appetite within Australian state governments to implement guardrails against high-impact AI, though it lacks deep focus on frontier AI capabilities or global risk reduction frameworks.
