Microsoft wants workers at the centre of AI adoption

Australia has established a national AI Employment and Workplaces Forum, bringing together government, employers, and unions. This move reflects a shared recognition that AI's success depends on delivering fair and inclusive outcomes. AI is already reshaping work across various sectors, including finance, media, health, education, manufacturing, and the public sector. The pace of AI adoption is accelerating, and the forum aims to manage the risks and opportunities associated with it. The National AI Plan's focus on spreading economic opportunity while managing risk will be advanced through this tripartite forum. Microsoft's perspective on AI adoption emphasizes the need to put workers at the center.
