Australians Are Using AI, But Trust Is Still Catching Up

AI is becoming part of everyday life and work, but a recent KPMG Australia study shows there is still a gap between AI adoption and trust.

Key findings:
• 50% of Australians regularly use AI.
• Only 36% of Australians say they trust AI.
• Just 30% believe the benefits of AI outweigh the risks.
• Australia ranks among the lowest countries globally for AI training and education.

As AI continues to reshape industries, understanding how to use it effectively and responsibly is becoming an essential workplace skill.

AI is officially part of Australia’s productivity agenda.

The 2026 Federal Budget is backing AI not just as a future investment, but as a tool the government is already using today.

Here’s what’s happening 👇
✅ Up to $70 million in AI Accelerator grants to support AI development and innovation
✅ AI tools being introduced to help fast-track environmental approvals, housing projects and medicine approvals
✅ Increased investment in digital infrastructure, Digital ID and cyber security systems
✅ More funding for government digital transformation projects across healthcare, tax, safety and public services

One example? The government is already using AI to reduce delays in approvals and improve access to information, showing how AI can streamline services and improve efficiency at scale.

The message from this year’s Budget is clear:
📈 AI is no longer optiona, it’s becoming central to how Australia works, builds and innovates.

For businesses and professionals, this means growing demand for:
🔹 AI literacy
🔹 Cyber security skills
🔹 Digital transformation expertise
🔹 Data and automation capabilities

Australia’s digital future is accelerating and the workforce needs to keep up. 🚀
