The House is Digital

Kate Cooper joins Amy-Rose Goodey on The House is Digital for a wide-ranging conversation on digital assets, artificial intelligence and how humans navigate periods of extraordinary technological change.

Kate introduces the concept of “humanware” the human capability, judgement and behaviours required to unlock the real value of AI. She also discusses AI sovereignty, equitable access, governance and why Australia has an opportunity to lead by putting humans at the centre of technological transformation.
