Australia ranks among the top 10 globally in data centre capacity, driven by its strong cloud adoption, with around 40% of legacy workloads already in the cloud. This makes Australia an attractive destination for generative AI demand. While Australia's ample land, local data centre capabilities, and geopolitical stability position it well, its power affordability limits its appeal for training large language models. However, Australia is well-suited for inferencing workloads, with hyperscale demand expected to triple by 2028 and grow sixfold by 2030. This video explores these factors and their implications for generative AI in Australia.
