South Australia To Hold Royal Commission Into Ever-Evolving Technology That Will Be Unrecognisable By The Time They Have Any Findings To Report

The Premier of South Australia has this week given in to the fears and panic of his electorate, and has announced that his government will hold a royal commission into artificial intelligence.

This will be the first time in history that anyone has ever thought to question this rapidly evolving technology that might still yet be a flash in the plan.

However, Peter Malinauskas believes that A.I could very well be a "material risk to the way our society operates and a risk to the future of work if not thought through carefully".

"We are at a really important fork in the road" said Malinauskas, the first leader of any Australian government to question whether or not our country would even really benefit from the automation of hundreds of thousands of jobs and the unchecked generation of extreme political misinformation.

However, given how long it takes to actually hold a royal commission, there is a very real chance that today's version of A.I will look like late 2023 Gemini compared to what will be on offer by the end of this inquiry.

Furthermore, this Royal Commission could very will run adjact the explosion of the A.I bubble, and will end up looking a lot like the Y2K hysteria that caused countless governments to waste billions of dollars at the turn of the millenium.

Malinauskas recently returned from the United States where he met with representatives from AI heavyweights OpenAI, Anthropic and Apple.

It was during the trip that he must have realised that all of these tech bros are talking absolute shit, and are really just fracking both the human condition and pillaging the natural environment for profit.

He did, however, signed a memorandum of understanding with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT' to give his state the chance to "explore opportunities to develop AI skills, accelerate local research and innovation, attract global investment and spread the benefits of AI across South Australia".

It is not yet known if A.I is good or bad in the eyes of the South Australian government, and whether or not it will still be such a hot button issue in the two or so years it takes to hold a royal commission, and if, indeed, any of this will be relevant at all by the time they have findings to report.
