Technology, Media & Telecommunications Summit: AI Factory of the Future

Join us at Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications Summit: AI Factory of the Future on Wednesday, 28th May 2025, where industry leaders, and technology experts will come together to explore the critical challenges and opportunities shaping Australia’s AI future, and how businesses can harness AI to lead in the next digital era.

Australia stands at a crossroads in shaping its digital future. Will we emerge as a global AI leader, or remain mere consumers of technology built elsewhere? As generative AI, deepfakes, and mass data breaches fuel a crisis of trust, the question of how we restore integrity to the digital world has never been more urgent. At the same time, AI is redefining customer experience - shaping identity, influencing behaviour, and curating reality in ways both seen and unseen. The challenge ahead is both an art and a science: how do we harness AI’s potential while safeguarding the values that underpin our digital society?

The summit will feature talks and perspectives from prominent leaders who are at the front line of the AI opportunity for the Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry in Australia.
