Submission to the Productivity Commission Interim Report on Harnessing Data and Digital Technology

This submission provides feedback on the Productivity Commission’s Interim Report, Harnessing Data and Digital Technology. MEAA’s response primarily relates to draft recommendations made by the Commission regarding AI regulation and access to data.

MEAA also takes issue with the framing of productivity in the interim report, which positions it as the primary driver of increased wages and living standards. In our view, the assumption that higher productivity automatically ‘trickles down’ to real wages is increasingly tenuous.
