Help make Safe AI easy We know AI holds great promise for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). But we also know business owners are wary of AI risks and lack the confidence and knowledge to manage them. Enter SAAM – a set of simple online tools and practical resources to help Australian SMEs access the benefits of AI while minimising exposure to risks. SAAM is one of four AI Adopt centres funded by the Commonwealth Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources. As part of the SAAM project, the University of Technology Sydney is doing a short survey to better understand how SMEs are adopting AI, and the challenges they face. Your insights will help build the resources you need to adopt AI safely and responsibly. All survey responses are anonymous. The survey is available at https://lnkd.in/gd6-bks4 Visit saam.com.au to learn more.
