Harness AI to shape the future

Artificial intelligence and machine learning make life easier, in all its aspects: healthcare, defence, entertainment, agriculture. Artificial intelligence and machine learning now present the world’s single greatest commercial opportunity. Research indicates that by 2030 it could increase global GDP by up to 14%—a staggering US$15.7 trillion gain. Locally, hundreds of millions are invested towards industry-wide transformation, promoting significant job market growth.

Employment prospects are outstanding. AI and machine learning appointments worldwide have doubled in the past three years, with demand easily outstripping supply.

The Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, conducted through the University of Adelaide’s world-renowned Australian Institute of Machine Learning (AIML), will position you perfectly to play a senior leadership role in this exciting future.
