The Era of AI Experimentation in Australia is Over.
Australia's board-level AI benchmark for governance, infrastructure, talent, and strategic readiness.
The Australia AI Business Index™ 2026 helps executives assess where AI strategy is commercially viable, where risk is accumulating, and what leadership teams should prioritise next. 100+ pages. Seven dimensions. One framework.
Designed as comparative benchmarks for board-level prioritisation and supplementary due diligence. Scores reflect comparative readiness, not deterministic or predictive outcomes.
Move Beyond the Hype.
Australian boards face a governance vacuum. With no state-level AI-specific legislation in force, executives need a structured framework to assess their AI readiness: How do we measure AI return on investment relative to our peers? How does our state's digital infrastructure compare nationally? And what governance gaps exist before compliance failures occur?
The AIBI 2026 provides a comparative benchmark. Authored by Josh (Adi) Tedjasaputra and the WA AI Hub, it defines effective AI strategy through one metric: measurable performance.
- How do we measure AI return on investment?
- How does our state's digital infrastructure compare nationally?
- How do we govern AI risk before it becomes a compliance failure?
