As Australia seeks to become a regional AI hub, local communities are increasingly being asked to accommodate infrastructure like data centres.

The government has said they will not increase household electricity bills, but is it enough to ensure these communities are 'not worse off'?

Dr Say Yen Teoh from the School of Accounting, Information Systems, and Supply Chain says that as AI reshapes the economy, communities should expect more than protection from harm. They should share in the value created.

To celebrate the launch of RMIT Chancellor Peggy O'Neal AO's book ‘Dolly the Bathtub Cat’ we’re giving away three prize packs including a signed copy of the book, blind box and gift card to the Cat Cafe Melbourne. Enter at the link in the comments.

Dolly the Bathtub Cat tells the story of a curious cat, endlessly inquisitive and fiercely independent, and the special friendship between a child and her guardian feline companion. Illustrations by Louise Wills.

Profits from the sale of Dolly the Bathtub Cat will support the Saskia Loer Hansen Memorial Scholarship, honouring a much loved and respected colleague at RMIT University, whose belief in the life-changing power of education inspired so many.

The scholarship enables RMIT students experiencing financial disadvantage to undertake transformative international experiences in their chosen fields.

You can purchase a copy of the book at the RMIT store.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently committed to establishing affordable, publicly owned supermarkets in the city.

So should Australia follow suit and launch its own public supermarkets to challenge Coles and Woolworths?

Dr Balaji Makam from RMIT's School of Finance, Economics and Marketing says the proposal is more complicated than it seems.
