According to the ACS Digital Pulse 2023 report, Australia ranks 13th among 14 leading economies in AI deployment, with only 24% of businesses utilising AI and a staggering 95% of the Australian workforce faces a reskilling imperative. It's a wake-up call, signaling the need for immediate action.

On 8th December 2023, the Hon. Ed Husic MP, the AIIA CEO Simon Bush and our Turium Ai founder Dan Saldi, unveiled the Australian Government's Responsible AI Adopt Program, a strategic initiative underpinned by an investment of $17 million. The program is a visionary step towards establishing AI Adopt Centres across the nation, to significantly enhance the integration of artificial intelligence within Australian businesses. This initiative represents a major milestone in our national endeavor to become a frontrunner in the global AI landscape.
