Moxie Masterclass | AI Outlook: Australia 2027

AI has moved beyond experimentation, but strategic value remains uneven.

For organisations across Australia, the challenge is no longer accessing AI. It is deciding where to invest, what to scale and how to turn ambition into measurable business impact.

As ambition accelerates, execution is becoming harder. Organisations must move from disconnected tools and isolated use cases towards a company-wide approach spanning strategy, workforce, data, infrastructure, governance and cyber security.

AI Outlook: Australia 2027 – proprietary annual research by Moxie Insights – benchmarks how the market is adopting, operationalising and scaling AI.

The report combines market intelligence with credible, lived experience from CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and CISOs – replacing assumption with evidence and presenting a clear view of Australia’s transition from AI activity to business impact.

Four core pillars underpin this research:

1. AI Strategy and Value: How organisations are setting priorities, allocating investment and measuring business impact.
2. AI Use Cases and Agents: Where AI is progressing into production and how intelligent automation and agents are reshaping workflows.
3. AI Foundations: Whether data, cloud, infrastructure, apps and architecture can support AI at scale.
4. AI Security and Governance: How organisations are managing cyber security, accountability, risk and workforce change as AI becomes more embedded and autonomous.

Ahead of publication, research findings were exclusively previewed and analysed at Moxie Masterclass, an invitation-only event housing 50 of the most influential technology leaders in Australia – spanning CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and CISOs. In association with Apptio, an IBM Company, eCloudvalley and Immersive.
