澳大利亚财政部发布的分析报告认为，人工智能将对该国劳动力市场产生"深远"影响，并成为推动长期生产力增长的关键因素。1财政部长Jim Chalmers表示，AI是"我们一生中最大的经济转型"。1该报告显示，实现1.2%的年度长期生产力增长目标需要AI驱动的显著改善，而2024-25年劳动力生产力已出现下降，过去十年基本处于停滞状态。1
在不同情景假设下，报告预测了AI的潜在影响范围。乐观情景中，AI可驱动生产力增长达到1.5-2%；而在悲观情景下，增长率则可能停留在0.5-0.8%。1目前，澳大利亚三分之二的企业已采用某种形式的AI，但不到10%认为采用程度达到显著水平。1其中，信息、电信、专业服务、金融和保险行业的AI采用率最高。1
为应对AI发展带来的挑战与机遇，澳大利亚政府正在准备相关立法，规范数据中心的能源和水资源使用。1当前澳大利亚拥有162个运营数据中心，另有约130个拟议中心，合计接近300个运营或规划设施。1财政部将在9月发布的《世代间报告》中进一步探讨AI的相关内容。1
Australia's Treasury has released an analysis indicating that artificial intelligence will drive long-term productivity growth while producing "profound" impacts on the labor market.1 The report projects AI could support an annual productivity growth target of 1.2 percent, though it acknowledges geopolitical risks and uncertainties in technological development.1 Treasurer Jim Chalmers described AI as "the biggest economic transformation of our lifetime."1
The analysis presents contrasting scenarios for Australia's economic future.1 Under an optimistic outlook, AI-driven productivity growth could reach 1.5 to 2 percent annually, while a pessimistic scenario would see growth remain between 0.5 and 0.8 percent.1 This comes against a backdrop of declining labor productivity in 2024-25 and essentially stagnant productivity growth over the past decade.1 Two-thirds of Australian businesses have already adopted some form of AI, though fewer than 10 percent consider their adoption to be significant.1 Industries leading AI adoption include information technology, telecommunications, professional services, financial services, and insurance.1
The government is preparing legislation to regulate data centers' energy and water usage, as Australia currently operates 162 data centers with approximately 130 additional facilities in the planning stages, bringing the total to nearly 300 facilities.1 The Treasury's findings on AI's economic implications will form a key focus of the Intergenerational Report due for release in September.1
