But if you listen to the Greens and One Nation, it's pretty clear that the message isn't penetrating.Both have clocked that people are worried about AI and data centres; they see the eye-watering amounts of money in announcements, handshakes and ribbon-cutting, but they worry about what the new era means for their jobs and communities.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has enthusiastically backed data centre investment, including Amazon's $20 billion expansion across Sydney and Melbourne He says this isn't just naive, it's irresponsible."Australia has some of the lowest levels of trust in AI, but governments and businesses keep telling Australians to use a technology that they worry will be the end of their jobs or, worse still, their kids' jobs," he said.Pocock is concerned that the government is just seeing the huge dollar signs data centres investment is bringing and not stopping to really think about the benefits for Australian communities."If not planned well, these behemoths can put huge pressure on power and water, not to mention job displacement from AI, so we need to be asking, where's the pay-off?" he said."Where are the mechanisms to ensure locals get access to the computing power we will need to compete in an AI world?"How are we making sure these companies don't offshore all their profit and pay some tax here?"Countries like France and the UK have already established digital taxes to capture some of that benefit."While the government has been trying to assure people there is nothing to fear from AI, many have already decided the technology is moving so quickly the government can't keep up.The risk for the government is how to explain what this technological wave will mean for people
