Australia's AI Week 2025

AI: Your next step in business

AI Week is a national initiative led by the National AI Centre, designed to help Australian businesses take their next step with AI.

Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or already using it in your operations, AI Week offers practical resources, expert insights and real-world examples to support adoption.

This year’s theme, ‘AI: Your next step in business’, focuses on helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) identify where AI can add value, improve efficiency and drive innovation. The week aims to:

• raise awareness of AI’s potential and risks
• build confidence in applying AI responsibly
• support businesses to take practical steps toward adoption.

AI Week is your opportunity to connect, learn and take action, no matter where you are on your AI journey.

Start the AI conversation in your workplace

Many businesses see the potential of AI but aren’t sure how or where to begin.

A good place to start is by talking with your team. These conversations can help you explore where AI might be useful in your business and understand your team’s ideas, concerns and attitudes toward it.

To support these discussions and help your business plan for responsible AI adoption, we’ve created the AI conversation guide. It includes:

• a simple conversation guide to help you get started
• practical tips for exploring and trialling AI tools in your workplace.

Already using AI in your business?

If you're already using AI tools, the next step is making sure they’re used responsibly and with good governance.

The Guidance for AI Adoption outlines 6 essential practices to help you manage risk, scale safely and ensure your use of AI is ethical, inclusive and aligned with your business goals.
