Industry trends
Currently, strong AI adoption can be seen across sectors like financial and professional services and information/communication technology. An estimated A$280 billion of economic benefits is expected for other Australian businesses in 2030 if they adopt AI-powered products and tools (Google, 2024) – adding over $22 trillion to the global economy (Australian Government, 2024). This significant growth and adoption of AI and machine learning in recent years, indicates we can anticipate greater advancements and developments moving forward.
To implement these technological changes, there will be an increase in demand for AI-skilled workers who can spearhead these new technologies and transform everyday businesses. Adelaide University’s computer science degree will equip you with the skills and knowledge to become a leader in the advancement of these innovative industry technologies.
