Aussie firms want clear AI laws to meet tech challenge
In a report, the major Australian enterprises delay the adoption of artificial intelligence technology due to concerns about regulation and lack of skilled workers.
The deployment of AI is growing in Australia regardless of obstacles, but beginners use technology to create more and more technology to create innovative products and services.
Amazon Web Services published more than 2000 managers and individuals on the use of AI technology on Friday.
Openai announced here that it plans to establish the Australian base as AI usage grew, and the federal government declared a national priority after a productivity round table meeting.
Amazon’s work opened the AI potential lock of AI Potential, found that the use of artificial intelligence technology grew by 16 percent between 2024 and 2025 and reached 180,000 more businesses.
More than half of the companies in Australia used artificial intelligence, but most (58 percent) used only to achieve modest efficiency in the most basic form.
Amazon Web Services Professional Services President Michelle Hardie said that small and agile companies use advanced AI with small and agile companies likely to do this.
“When we look at the organizations that are commonly adopted by AI, we really think that we will think of transformative innovation in Australia.” He said.
“Really interesting, 42 percent of them use AI to develop new products and services that they have launched.”
Authorized, AI adoption rate for large businesses is significantly lower and only 18 percent of these companies use AI to develop new services, he said.
If the gap between large and small enterprises continues, the questionnaire may lead to a two -layer economy and a permanent impact on Australia’s AI -oriented growth and innovation “.
The three major obstacles prevented enterprises from adopting AI vehicles, the research found the difficulties of attracting local workers (38 percent) as the lack of digital skills (39 percent) and the main obstacles of the participants (38 percent).
According to the survey, the lack of financial support such as tax incentives and the lack of open rules played a role.
Fewer than one of four people (24 percent) was familiar with the government’s AI consultation, and Mrs Hardie said that many businesses wanted open and open ethical controls.
“To ensure that the arrangement of artificial intelligence is foreseeable and friendly friendly, will be the key to ensuring that AI is adopted in all industrial sectors,” he said.
“We certainly know that the Australian government wants to find the right regulatory balance between adopting greater AI and the increase in innovation, which is also what we need is also trying to help us reduce the risks and difficulties that arise.”
In September, the Federal Government issued voluntary AI directives, but did not yet respond to the consultation of the people to compulsory railings.
