Economic Impact of Generative AI

The National AI Centre is excited to host a conversation that explores how Australian organisations can prioritise their time and teams to unlock the economic opportunity of generative AI (GAI) in 2024.

Join experts from the Tech Council and Microsoft Australia to learn more about the broader economic impact associated with GAI in Australia as well as their insights in the priority actions industries can take to accelerate GAI adoption in their business.

The conversation will focus on Australia’s existing comparative advantages in digital innovation that make our industries well positioned to lead in the era of AI.

The management of key risks will also be discussed, including some of the ways that Australian workers can be supported and reskilled, how access to GAI can be made more equitable, especially for small and medium sized enterprises.

This presentation will be based on data captured in the Tech Council’s “Australia’s Generative AI Opportunity” report.
