In May, we published the refreshed AI Blueprint for Aotearoa — a shared vision designed to help us build the capability, confidence and conditions needed for AI to deliver real benefit for people, organisations, and our economy.

Join us for the first of two live online updates on progress across the Blueprint’s workstreams. This session will focus on Sustainable AI, Environment, Social Licence & Creative Industries.

These are areas where practical, responsible AI adoption can help deliver better outcomes for people, communities and the economy — from smarter infrastructure and services to improved health and learning experiences.

Hear from leaders helping turn the Blueprint’s ambitions into action, with updates on opportunities, priorities and the work ahead.
