    Why Laura Shared a Nude Picture of Herself in Parliament

    Episode SummaryLaura McClure, Member of Parliament for the ACT Party in New Zealand, joins In the Blink of AI to unpack her viral deepfake experience, her groundbreaking member’s bill, and why tech regulation must protect victims without stifling innovation. In a powerful conversation, Laura reveals how she created a deepfake of herself in minutes—and why it’s a wake-up call for policymakers worldwide. She shares insights on balancing tech freedoms with responsible safeguards, why regulation is about behaviour not banning tools, and how New Zealand’s slow policy-making could leave them lagging behind. Laura also discusses how ACT’s libertarian values shape her pro-innovation, pro-startup stance and why deepfakes are a threat not just to teenagers, but to democracy itself. From the electricity grid challenges that could stall New Zealand’s AI adoption to the opportunities in agriculture and defence, this is a must-listen for founders, policymakers, and anyone passionate about the future of technology.

With a unique perspective at the intersection of technology, innovation, and policy, Katherine breaks down how Australia, despite inventing WiFi, is sitting on the sidelines of the AI revolution, missing a $115 billion economic opportunity. She shares how EY has up-skilled over 85% of its 400,000-strong workforce in AI, built the world’s largest private AI platform, and implemented AI agents at scale, while most organisations are still debating their first AI hires. This episode dives deep into what Australia needs to do now to avoid falling irreversibly behind, from setting a bold national AI strategy to investing in mass up-skilling programs and embracing AI across industries like healthcare, financial services, retail, and energy. Katherine also offers inspiring and practical advice for women looking to pivot into AI, shares her favourite tools and productivity hacks (including the AI prompt that gives her “permission to log off” for the day), and calls on every listener to claim their seat at the AI table, before it’s too late.
