AI is getting smarter, but is it becoming intelligent?

Prompt injection is not a bug you can patch
Prompt injection is not a bug that a better model can patch. If an AI agent is tricked, the real question is what it can access, change or send before anyone notices.
The skills we need in the AI age
AI skills are more than better prompting. We need people who can use AI well, design agentic workflows, govern risk and build the technical capability Australia needs.

How would you turn off your AI if it went rogue?
If an AI system starts behaving in ways you did not expect, who can actually stop it? Here's a practical guide to designing AI shutdown capability, from authority and access controls to safe fallbacks and a realistic kill-switch checklist.
The Essential Eight is not enough for AI-enabled cyber attacks
The Essential Eight is a vital protective baseline, but it is not enough to protect against AI-enabled cyber threats. Why organisations need stronger controls, assurance, resilience and recovery in the age of AI agents.
