Description

Discover how Optus and the KARI Foundation are helping young Australians build confidence with AI—developing digital skills, critical thinking and real-world creativity through hands-on learning.

Summary

This initiative focuses on promoting AI literacy and digital skills among Indigenous Australian youth through a partnership between Optus and the KARI Foundation. The program emphasizes critical thinking and the ethical use of AI tools to foster creative confidence in a changing digital landscape. While it addresses societal adaptation to AI, it does not engage with technical frontier AI safety or the mitigation of catastrophic existential risks. The content is primarily a corporate social responsibility report focused on educational equity rather than global governance or safety frameworks.
