The Commonwealth Bank of Australia says Australia has become the world’s third-largest AI investment destination, citing a research note released Monday that estimates roughly a 6 gigawatt, A$150 billion data-center pipeline by 2030. CBA economists forecast AI could boost productivity by 0.8–1.0 percentage point annually, potentially lifting potential GDP growth toward about 3%, and spurred gains in data-center stocks.
