HOW MANY AI AGENTS COULD RUN ON THE AI CHIPS SHIPPED THROUGH 2027?

AI chips shipped through 2027 could run tens to hundreds of millions of concurrent frontier-model agents. These agents could supply as many weekly working hours as about 140-720 million full-time employees. Even a modest use of this capacity would require a massive increase in global demand for AI. Using 20% of the estimated central capacity would imply $2.6 trillion to $5.3 trillion a year in API-equivalent spending.

SMALLER MODELS ARE THE FUTURE OF AI SOVEREIGNTY

Australia needs AI sovereignty by retaining control and choice, not relying on external companies for critical capabilities. Smaller, specialized AI models offer practical benefits such as adaptability, cost-efficiency, and easier governance compared to larger, frontier models. Embracing a portfolio approach with open-weight models increases options, fostering managed interdependence without becoming dependent on a single provider.

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE IS SURPRISING

Human intelligence is a recent evolutionary accident, while AI can optimize directly against explicit objectives and rapidly surpass people on measurable tasks. The harder human problem is defining worthwhile objectives without steering models toward the wrong capabilities.
