AI Sprint heats up! 35 innovators move to Stage 2
Australia’s AI landscape is buzzing with innovation as 35 participants have progressed to Stage 2 of the nation's exciting new initiative – Australia’s AI Sprint.
The AI Sprint is a collaboration between the National AI Centre (coordinated by Australia’s national science agency CSIRO), Australia's largest innovation community Stone & Chalk, and Google Cloud.
The true power of the AI Sprint lies in the sheer variety of problems these innovators are tackling. From the nuts and bolts of our supply chains to the way we run and govern ourselves, AI is a tool to build a better Australia.
Here are the key areas being tackled by the AI Sprint in Stage 2, and a snapshot of some of companies rising to take on these challenges.
