The debate around AI and datacentres is such that, to paraphrase(套用（某人的话）) Paul Keating(保罗·基廷，澳大利亚前总理), if you walked into any pet shop in Australia, the resident galah(葵花凤头鹦鹉；傻瓜) will be talking about it.
围绕人工智能和数据中心的争论如此激烈，以至于套用保罗·基廷的话说，如果你走进澳大利亚任何一家宠物店，店里的葵花凤头鹦鹉都会在谈论这个话题。
I am on the record(公开地，记录在案) as being a sceptic(怀疑论者) of AI productivity booms, or the need to do all we can to make sure we are at the forefront of(处于…的最前沿) the AI revolution.
我曾公开表示，我对人工智能生产率繁荣持怀疑态度，也对那种认为我们应竭尽全力确保走在人工智能革命前沿的说法表示怀疑。
Sure, there will be benefits in medical and scientific research. Does that require building datacentres in every vacant(空着的，未被占用的) block of land in the country? And will medical and scientific research be the overarching(首要的，支配一切的) use of these datacentres?
当然，人工智能在医学和科学研究中会有益处。但这需要在国家每一块空地上都建造数据中心吗？而且，医学和科学研究会成为这些数据中心的首要用途吗？
