The federal government will fund artificial intelligence centres across the country to help businesses adopt the technology, reviving a three-year-old plan with a more targeted approach.

$17 million in grants for the centres was announced on Friday by Industry minister Ed Husic, who secured the funding in the May Budget as part of a slimmed down AI support package.

Up to five government co-funded AI ‘Adopt” centres — potentially including virtual hubs — will be run by businesses, industry partners or research institutions from next July, offering training in AI to the private sector.
