The AI boom has triggered enormous investment in data centres and the infrastructure needed to train artificial intelligence. But the next opportunity could be what happens every time we actually use AI – a process known as inferencing.

Sean Aylmer speaks with David Keane, co-founder and CEO of ASX-listed SCX.ai, about why he believes Australia needs its own AI inferencing capacity, the privacy implications of sending data offshore, and the possibility of Australia becoming an exporter of AI computing power.

SCX.ai is a supporter of Fear & Greed.
