澳大利亚财政部的最新分析表明，全球科技公司在人工智能数据中心建设上的投资可能对本国利率水平产生上行压力。1根据该分析，澳大利亚数据中心建设项目预计价值1500亿澳元，约占国内生产总值的5%，而全球科技公司在此领域的投入已达1万亿美元。1财政部预测，AI驱动的资本需求将增加对资本价格的上升压力，进而推高"中性利率"。1
澳大利亚当前已拥有162个数据中心，另有130个处于规划阶段。1企业与政府将面临争夺劳动力和资源的局面。1防长理查德·马尔斯周一赴美与科技巨头Anthropic洽谈一项210亿澳元的交易。1财政部预测未来十年生产率增长率为1.2%，这一成果将在很大程度上取决于AI的采用程度。1
财政部也指出了相关风险。AI可能导致大规模网络攻击，威胁经济收益。1
Australia's Treasury Department has released analysis suggesting that a surge in artificial intelligence-related data center construction could push up interest rates across the economy.1 The global technology sector is investing approximately one trillion US dollars in data center development, with Australia's share valued at around 150 billion Australian dollars, equivalent to 5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product.1
Australia currently operates 162 data centers, with another 130 projects in the planning phase.1 The Treasury projects that productivity growth over the next decade will reach 1.2 percent, contingent on widespread AI adoption.1 However, the anticipated investment boom creates competition between businesses and government for labor and resources, which the Treasury warns could exert upward pressure on capital prices through increased demand—a mechanism that may elevate the neutral interest rate.1 This pressure coincides with substantial borrowing by major technology companies for data center projects.1
Beyond interest rate concerns, the Treasury has flagged additional risks to economic gains. AI-driven cyberattacks pose a potential threat to disrupting the economy's benefits from technological advancement.1 Meanwhile, Defense Minister Richard Marles is traveling to the United States on Monday to negotiate a 21 billion Australian dollar deal with technology company Anthropic, reflecting the government's strategic focus on securing AI investment domestically.1
