The government will spend $17 million on up to five industry-specific centres that can help organisations to responsibly apply artificial intelligence technology.
Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic said the government is looking for parties “with the capability to deliver training and upskilling packages to businesses.”
The five centres will each highlight top priorities of the government’s national reconstruction, which offers financing to push investments, including quantum technologies.
The centres will look to “showcase the innovative capabilities that AI can unlock”, provide guidance on how to adopt AI responsibly and efficiently” and “provide specialist training to help develop specific skills to effectively manage AI.”
Husic said that “harnessing the power of AI will enhance productivity, helping to crack one of the biggest challenges facing Australia.”
“This network of centres will give businesses clear and direct advice on how to integrate AI into their work systems," he said.
“AI has enormous potential to support Australian businesses to gain a competitive edge in global markets."
