Artificial intelligence\u00a0(AI)\u00a0is\u00a0the next major technology-driven economic\u00a0transformation\u00a0and defining geopolitical advantage. For Australia, the question is whether to be an active participant in it or simply a consumer of technology built and controlled elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Artificial Intelligence in Australia: State of Play\u202fis a new special report series tracking Australia’s evolving position in the global AI landscape.\u00a0Updated quarterly, each edition\u00a0will\u00a0revisit\u00a0core themes while introducing new focus areas as conditions change.\u00a0Themes covered across editions\u00a0will\u00a0include Australia’s regulatory environment, infrastructure, the labour market, research and development,\u00a0investment\u00a0and adoption.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This inaugural report examines Australia’s current competitive position in the global AI economy, investment in AI companies and data centres and AI adoption across the private and public sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The picture that\u00a0emerges\u00a0is of a country with genuine opportunities that it risks squandering through inaction. Australia’s data centre sector\u00a0notably\u00a0attracted\u00a0$10 billion in investment in 2024 alone.\u00a0Unless that infrastructure is paired with a concerted effort to develop a domestic AI industry, Australia may end up as a high-capacity factory for foreign AI companies,\u00a0generating value it\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0retain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
