A human-centred approach to digital technology

mobile phone, human hand and network.

We help Australia maximise its potential for a data-driven future.

We believe that by combining uniquely human capabilities with the computational power of technology, we can create something better together than either alone.

Our researchers are working on a diverse range of projects at the intersection of technology and individuals, organisations, industries, regions and society. These include tackling challenges from building trust in machines, to improving knowledge discovery and supporting effective and equitable labour markets.

We are also working with industry, government and academic partners to explore opportunities to leverage emerging technologies productively and responsibly.

Our latest research

Mapping Australia’s AI ecosystem

Together with the National AI Centre (NAIC), we produced Australia’s Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem – Catalysing an AI Industry report. This report provides a snapshot of the current landscape of Australia’s AI companies and research institutes.

This work reveals key artificial intelligence (AI) opportunity areas that could help Australia become a globally competitive AI maker and exporter, including livestock, medical technology and horticulture.
