Experts across human rights, technology development, commercialisation and representatives from businesses of all sizes and sectors, Government, and Universities are part of the National AI Centre's (NAIC) Think Tank initiative. This collaborative approach aims to chart a path for Australia to responsibly adopt and deploy AI at scale.
What is the driving force behind the Think Tanks?
Lagging levels of AI adoption in Australian businesses are a wakeup call for the future of our global competitiveness.
By bringing together expertise from across the business, academia and community ecosystems, and collaborating with local and global organisations, the NAIC Think Tank aims to unlock Australia's AI opportunity with the development of practical guidance and frameworks to support Australian business in their AI implementation journey.
AI Think Tank: Scaling Responsible AI
The Responsible AI at Scale Think Tank will develop practical pathways to enhance Australian businesses' ability to implement responsible AI and move from pilot AI projects to full scale production implementation.
It will build upon the success and impact of the previous Think Tanks by delivering gold standard principles, tools, and practices to help business develop, adopt, and operationalise responsible and ethical AI into their business.
Comprised of leading experts across technology, industry, academia and government, the Responsible AI at Scale Think Tank will meet throughout the year to assist the National AI Centre in creating practical pathways for responsible AI development and adoption, with the first taking place in September 2023.
