The growth of Artificial Intelligence in Australia is driven by its potential to create jobs, improve lives and contribute to overall economic growth.
In this blog post, we feature the Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Developers in Australia.
But before we start here is a quote by Marcus Hutter from his 2005 book Universal Artificial Intelligence (AI) that helps us define what AI actually is.
The science of Artificial Intelligence (AI) might be defined as the construction of intelligent systems and their analysis. A natural definition of systems is anything that has an input and an output stream. Intelligence is more complicated.
It can have many faces like creativity, solving problems, pattern recognition, classification, learning, induction, deduction, building analogies, optimization, surviving in an environment, language processing, knowledge and many more. A formal definition incorporating every aspect of intelligence, however, seems difficult.
Coined by American Scientist John McCarthy in 1955, ‘Artificial Intelligence’ can be furthermore described as the simulation of human intelligence within machines that eventually learn to think like and mimic the actions of humans.
AI helps the Australian Government and all other business and corporate stakeholders to better understand their customers, be more competitive, manage resources more efficiently and solve significant national challenges along the way.
Despite hesitancy to adopt AI on a wider scale, it is also important to highlight the ethical use of AI in a responsible manner.
Examples of Artificial Intelligence
- Search Engines like Google
- Recommendation Systems like YouTube
- Human Speech Recognition like Alexa
- Self Driving Cars like Tesla
- Disease Mapping Technology like HealthMap
- Facial Detection and Recognition like Clarifai
Australian National AI Roadmap
The Australian Government has been at the forefront of promoting AI, declaring a National AI Roadmap that includes investing $53.8 million to create the National Artificial Intelligence Centre and providing $12 million to co-fund 36 grants to develop AI solutions that address local or regional problems.
The initiatives of the National Government are also complemented by various Australian states and Territories that have also stepped up to support the growth of AI capabilities and adoption.
