The story behind AAAI
Grounded in human insight, powered by technology—helping people and organisations use AI intelligently.
The Australian Academy of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) was created to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time—ensuring Australia has the capability to thrive in an AI-powered future.
The rapid evolution of AI demands not just knowledge, but the confidence to use it effectively and ethically.
Our mission
To make AI accessible, practical, and trustworthy—empowering professionals and organisations across Australia with the skills, confidence, and ethical awareness needed to lead.
With projections like 80% of jobs being impacted by AI and 40% of workplace tasks disrupted by 2027, yet fewer than 1 in 5 professionals feeling prepared, the need for a trusted, local pathway to AI literacy has never been clearer.
AAAI was founded to close that gap.

WHO WE ARE
Our Founders
AAAI was established by a founding team with over 75 years of combined experience spanning organisational psychology, large-scale business transformation, technology strategy, product innovation, and data science.
Collectively, they have led national transformation programs, delivered enterprise-scale technology solutions, and designed people-focused change strategies across industries including aviation, healthcare, finance, government, defence, and education. Having seen AI reshape every sector they’ve worked in—sometimes as an opportunity, other times as a challenge—they recognised that building AI literacy is the most powerful way to empower people and organisations in the AI era.
United by a shared commitment to making AI education accessible, ethical, and practical, the founders have created programs that are academically credible and grounded in real-world application—equipping professionals and organisations to adopt AI with confidence, capability, and purpose.
