AI and Australia’s foundational industries

Skills Insight is preparing a submission to the Australian Parliament’s Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. 

We want to hear how AI is being used, trialled or considered across the agribusiness, fibre, furnishing, food, animal and environment care industries. 

Your feedback will help us understand the opportunities, risks, barriers and workforce capability needed to support safe, practical and responsible AI adoption.

What we want to hear about 

We are seeking practical examples and insights on: 

  • where AI is being used or considered 
  • what opportunities it could create 
  • what barriers or risks need to be addressed 
  • what skills workers, supervisors, managers and trainers may need 
  • what support would help businesses adopt AI safely and effectively. 

Have your say 

Complete our short survey to share your experience or observations about how AI is being used, trialled or considered in your workplace or industry. Your insights will help inform Skills Insight’s submission and support a stronger understanding of workforce needs, opportunities and risks. 

Survey closes: 9am, Monday 14 September 2026

What we mean by AI 

For this consultation, AI includes systems that use data, rules or models to support tasks such as prediction, decision-making, pattern recognition, monitoring, content generation or interaction. 

This may include AI used in software, sensors, machinery, robotics, forecasting tools, decision-support systems or generative AI. 

If you are unsure whether your example involves AI, you can still share it and explain what the technology does.
