National AI Centre launches online portal aimed at SMEs
The Department of Industry, Science and Resources has announced that the National AI Centre has launched a new digital platform to help organisations understand and use artificial intelligence (AI) safely and responsibly.
Delivered under the National AI Plan, AI.gov.au aims to bring together practical guidance, tools and resources from across government in one place. It gives businesses, not-for-profits and other organisations a clear and trusted place to start when using AI.
The purpose of AI.gov.au is to make it easier to find clear, practical and trustworthy information about AI.
The platform helps organisations to:
- understand where AI can add value
- plan how to use AI
- support team members through AI change and adoption
- understand risks and good practice
- find tools, resources and case studies to build capability.
The first release of AI.gov.au draws on user research and engagement with industry and government, including insights from work through the SaaM AI Adopt Centre.
This work helped clarify what organisations need most when starting out, including:
- where to begin and what to consider as part of strategy and planning
- how to engage people across the business
- what risks to consider when using AI or extending its use across the organisation.
AI.gov.au helps organisations understand how they can use AI, what value it can bring, and what to think about before investing. It will also support the work of the AI Safety Institute by making guidance on AI safety easier for SMEs to understand and use.
What’s on AI.gov.au
The initial release focuses on supporting SMEs and the not-for-profit sector. This includes information previously available from the Department of Industry, including:
- guidance for AI adoption
- guidance on being clear about AI-generated content
- AI skills for business courses
- an AI event calendar
- AI directory of Australian businesses
- Australia’s artificial intelligence ecosystem report
- an AI adoption tracker.
NAIC will add more guidance, tools and resources over time, based on ongoing research and user feedback.
