The new, slimmed-down Victorian cabinet under Ben Carroll's leadership includes a minister to focus on ethical artificial intelligence, but dumps the transport infrastructure portfolio.

In short:

Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has named his new frontbench after taking the Labor leadership from Jacinta Allan last week.

His ministry includes a new portfolio of Minister for Artificial Intelligence, which will be filled by former police minister Anthony Carbines.

There’s no longer a Minister for Transport Infrastructure and the Suburban Rail Loop.
