Member Briefing: Meeting the AI Skills Boom Report Launch

As the development and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies continues apace, so does demand for workers with relevant skills. We forecast that AI has the potential to create up to 200,000 jobs in Australia by 2030. Australia's AI workforce has grown remarkably in recent years, from around 800 workers in 2014 to over 33,000 in 2023.

This report investigates whether this growth trajectory can continue to meet the high demand expected by 2030 by exploring emerging occupations, scaling of existing roles, governance and the collaborative role of government and industry in supporting the growth of the AI workforce.
