A2I2 Deakin’s first research initiative

Following a review of research groupings across Deakin, the University Council has announced that A2I2 will now be Deakin’s first ‘Initiative’. The designation of ‘Initiative’ is reserved for a limited number of University-wide research groupings, characterised by their multidisciplinary collaborations and strategic value.

‘Initiatives’ are established by Council and this change reflects the University-wide nature of our AI research, which is broader than any one faculty and has the potential to advance research across several areas.

What’s changed?

Our name:
Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative (or A2I2 when you need to say it quickly).

What hasn’t changed?

Everything else:
As an initiative, the team at A2I2 will continue their work on solving intractable challenges such as:

• putting humans at the centre of advancing artificial intelligence
• accelerating the research of some of Australia and the world’s most curious and capable minds
• developing AI models, decision support systems, and software solutions that are robust, reliable, and real-world ready.

As the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning accelerates, Deakin’s Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative will continue to support and collaborate on research across the university.
