Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML)
@aimlofficial.bsky.social
Part of the University of Adelaide, AIML is Australia’s first institute dedicated to research in machine learning. With over 200 members — and growing — we are also the largest university-based, machine learning research group in Australia.
On 13 Nov, AIML was home to SA Premier Peter Malinauskas MP, and Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson as they announced that Qantas will create a Product Innovation Centre in Adelaide.
The centre will launch 2026 and is expected to create more than 420 jobs. For more ➡️ adelaideuni.edu.au/about/news-a...
