Australia faces a rapidly escalating breakdown in information integrity. Climate disinformation is evolving from a communications issue into a national security challenge. This report finds that government efforts are not commensurate with the sheer scale, resourcing and coordination of disinformation networks.

This white paper examines how leading organisations are embedding artificial intelligence (AI) across customer experience, operations, R&D, strategic planning and talent. Drawing on insights from more than 450 executives worldwide, it highlights a shift from isolated use cases to connected systems, from episodic initiatives to continuous processes and from task automation to human value creation.

The report examines the adoption and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) by Australian charities, finding the benefits for the sector come with particular risks. Although AI adoption in charities is driven by structural necessity, algorithmic decision-making could introduce new risks of accountability gaps and discrimination. The report identifies six principles for AI governance in charities.

The purpose of this guidance is to enable Australian Government agencies to move beyond isolated artificial intelligence (AI) experiments and achieve meaningful business AI adoption, ensuring that AI delivers value and is embedded responsibly within government operations and services. It provides practical advice for successfully scaling AI proof of concepts.
