2024 Overview

The Australian Public Service is increasingly adopting data, analytics, and AI technology to enhance its processes and deliver more effective citizen services. The Digital Transformation Agency estimates that by 2030, AI and machine-assisted decision-making technologies will contribute over 20 trillion dollars to the global economy.

Join us at the Federal Data and AI Showcase to explore the transformative role of data and AI. The event will feature two key streams: AI Impact, which highlights transformative effects and success stories across various sectors, and Responsible AI in Action, which addresses ethical, legal, and societal considerations to ensure best practices and responsible AI use.

This event aims to advance the understanding and application of AI in the public sector innovatively and responsibly. It will highlight AI successes within Federal Government departments and agencies, connecting senior government leaders with industry partners to drive transformation in the data and AI sectors.
