Adopting AI without compromise

Every business in the country is being told to move faster on AI. The real question is how you adopt it safely and securely without disrupting the business. We brought together the experts to work through what that takes, especially when you carry SOCI or APRA obligations.

Watch it in four parts

Four questions, answered one at a time. Start with whichever one is yours.

01

What adopting AI without compromise actually means

What we are seeing walk in the door every week, and what has to be true before a business says yes to AI.

02

Why blocking the tools does not make you compliant

Shadow AI, the assumption that data inside Microsoft 365 is protected by default, and what an auditor expects you to produce if you are captured by the SOCI Act or supervised by APRA.

03

Model choice, and your first 30 days

Why choosing Microsoft does not commit you to one model, what has to stay true so you can move between them, and the first three things to do if you are starting near zero.

04

How you would know six months later whether it worked

What a good outcome looks like, what failure looks like before it becomes an incident, and where to take this next.

What to take from this episode

In their words.

“Within two weeks, a student had asked, give me the salaries of all the teaching staff. And they got it.”

“If you cannot produce evidence, actual evidence, to an auditor, then you're not going to be compliant in that assessment.”
