The Australian Responsible AI Index 2025

The Australian Responsible AI Index 2025has been released. It provides in-depth analysis and valuable insights into how Australian organisations are adopting and implementing responsible AI practices.

As organisations explore the use of AI, it's essential to ensure that AI adoption is effective and responsible. The index highlights how small, well-targeted practices can add meaningful value to businesses. From building customer trust to improving productivity, responsible AI is no longer just a compliance issue, it’s a strategic advantage.

Smaller organisations may not have large teams or budgets, but they can benefit from practical, scalable responsible AI practices. The index shows that even small steps can lead to:

  • greater productivity
  • stronger customer trust and brand reputation
  • improved compliance and reduced risk exposure
  • improved innovation and competitiveness.
