Telstra’s decision to hive off its AI projects and staff at such a critical time will make other companies stand up and take notice. The big consulting groups and tech companies must be loving it.
If there’s one big Australian business we should hope gets AI right, it is Telstra.
Telstra is our biggest, most important tech company. It has the biggest network, the most engineers, the deepest pockets, the political power, the mateship with Microsoft – and all of our expectations – to find and unlock whatever productive uses are in AI’s promised land.
