The University of Melbourne and KPMG's 2025 Trust in AI report reveals how Australians perceive AI adoption, risk, and governance.

Join Stone & Chalk and KPMG for a cross-sector conversation exploring the findings of the KPMG 2025 Trust in AI report - and the role enterprise, government and startups must play in closing the AI trust gap.

We will discuss

Who’s responsible for building trust in AI - and what does action look like?
What’s holding Australia back from global leadership in AI?
Where are the gaps in capability, regulation, literacy, and enterprise readiness?
How do we move from insight to implementation across sectors?
