Data privacy issues arise from relying on large datasets, while the black-box nature of these models makes it difficult to interpret their decisions. Training deep learning models requires significant computational resources and expertise, further exacerbating the problem. Moreover, biased training data can lead to unfair outcomes if not addressed. However, advancements in hardware and algorithms are expected to drive exponential growth in the US IT industry, enabling companies like those led by Vignesh, a prominent figure in the field, to integrate deep learning into their strategies and gain a competitive edge.

This move is expected to wipe around $16 billion in debt across various loan accounts, with university students and graduates set to see an average of $5,520 reduced from their HECS debt in 2025. The government has also rolled out significant student debt cuts since December 2024, which have already resulted in about $3 billion being wiped off debts.

However, former Education Secretary Betsy McMahon claimed that the Biden administration transferred hundreds of billions of dollars in debt to taxpayers, leaving borrowers in a "confusing limbo." McMahon stated that resuming collections was not an act of unkindness but rather fairness, as borrowing money without paying it back is not a victimless offense.
