"John Howard used to famously say that people get mugged by reality, and I think our civilization is just about to be mugged by the reality of artificial intelligence." In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, host Steve Kuper is joined by Dave Grosvenor and Steve Hayes for a blunt reality check on Australia’s strategic vulnerabilities. While the panel takes a deep dive into our industrial resilience, supply chain fragility, and the urgent need for a national audit of our sovereign capability, they also tackle the broader disruptions heading our way. From the future of the workforce to the undeniable impact of AI on professions across the board, the gap between strategic risk and preparedness has never been more apparent. Are we ready for what comes next, or are we about to be caught off guard? Want to hear more?
