In short:

A federal government-backed health AI startup has laid off Australian staff while launching a US venture hiring American clinicians who will be paid money to use its tools.

The company, Harrison.ai, received $32 million from the government last year so it could "continue to base its operations in Australia".

These changes have prompted staff to leave and raised concerns about how the company will manage what experts flagged as a potential conflict of interest that could affect patient care.

Both MisterFrog and I were being facetious.

Of course the money won’t be returned! Of course the government are going to do the exact same thing next week!
