There's nothing artificial about AI's journey in the workplace! We were pleased to recently partner with CSIRO's National Artificial Intelligence Centre to deliver AI at Work, a full-day event for Australian SMEs across a range of industries to learn more about how adopting AI can help transform their business by providing solutions to enterprise problems. Attendees witnessed firsthand how AI innovations are reshaping businesses and communities across a diverse range of sectors from healthcare and agriculture to advanced manufacturing.
