CRN, Other, 28/06/2021
The Government recently released its national AI Action Plan that promises $124.1 million toward the development of artificial intelligence technologies which has been praised by local industry experts. The aim is for the Australian economy to take a share of what the document claims is a $20 trillion global opportunity. […] “There is a lot of focus on the research sector in the document, Data61, CSIRO, research organisations etc. Maybe not as much focus as we would have liked on industry. AI technology today has really hit the point that it’s about building and implementing.”
