Australians embrace tech – we’re early adopters, and it’s an intrinsic part of our personal and working lives. Tech is an enabler. It bridges geographical and social divides, helping uswork smarter, not harder. As a country we’re adept in using it to address strategic challenges, and improve our quality of life. AI is no different.
To understand how we are experiencing the shift toward AI, the Tech Council of Australia surveyed a nationally representative sample of the Australian workforce.
We asked Australian workers how they feel about the pace of technological change, how they’re using AI and other digital tools today, and what they expect the long-term impact will be on their jobs and industries.
The results show a generally optimistic outlook. Most Australians believe technology has improved their working lives and are using AI across a range of tasks. Many see AI as a tool that will enhance, rather than replace, human work.
