AI Insights: Australia’s tipping point
Artificial Intelligence is no longer on the horizon—it’s here, and accelerating fast. Those who delay may face permanent competitive disadvantage, writes Suhit Anantula.
A new strategic intelligence report designed to help business and government leaders make sense of this transformation has been launched called the Australia AI Adoption Pulse.
The goal is simple: cut through the noise and offer real-time, decision-ready insights on where AI adoption is heading and how to act.
The July 2025 edition highlights a critical moment in Australia’s AI journey:
Strategic headlines
- 41 per cent of SMEs are already adopting AI, growing 5 per cent each quarter.

- The government sector leads with 60 per cent adoption—setting templates that reduce private sector risk.
- A combined $42 million-plus in state programs is unlocking governance, funding, and implementation roadmaps.
Timing is everything
Australia is in an infrastructure moment—AI adoption has become dramatically easier, with enterprise-ready solutions requiring less technical lift than ever before.
