Three Australian industries that have an AI advantage

Reshaping virtually every industry, profession and life, artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact every facet of our lives and will continue to impact them far into the future. From emergency management of natural hazards and supporting an ageing population, to monitoring the health of infrastructure and preventing traffic congestion, AI has provided Australia...

AI for Environmental and Social Good

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to reshape practically every sector of the economy over the next two decades, from healthcare through to agriculture, mining and transport. It has the potential to automate repetitive or dangerous tasks, increase productivity and inform the development of new products and services which change the way that we work and...

Our billion-dollar AI opportunity

Originally published by InnovationAus.com Like electricity, artificial intelligence (AI) is a general purpose technology that has the potential to drastically alter societies through its impact on economic and social structures. The AI revolution is not on the horizon — it’s already here. In fact, AI is estimated to generate $13 trillion in economic activity across the...
