And that's a big problem.","text":"Hello!\n\nI just published: What do the pope and most Australians have in common? Neither trust AI companies\n\nAs I get a feel for this beat, one thing has been coming up time and time again. I hear it from companies, politicians, academics, activists.\n\nAI is pretty unpopular.\n\nObviously, there’s plenty of negative news coverage of it. But, still, for something that is promising so much, that is used by millions of Australians, I was surprised by just how poorly it is viewed.\n\nWhat I wanted to lay out is how this isn’t simply a comms problem, but a barrier based in people’s real experiences for an industry (and a government) that is asking the Australians to use their products, share their resources and even change their laws.\n\nThanks, CW\n\nP.S. I love tips . I also love hearing what people think about stories and can promise 100% confidentiality for anyone who contacts me.
