# Deloitte finds 39% of Australian firms redesigning key processes around AI

> Australian organisations are redesigning work around AI, with 73% expecting routine knowledge tasks to be automated within three years.

## Key Takeaways (TL;DR)

- 39% of Australian firms are redesigning several key processes around AI, according to Deloitte.
- 73% expect AI to handle most routine knowledge work in three years, while 81% cite faster decision-making as a benefit.
- Only 25% use AI for deep transformation such as new products or business-model reinvention.

Australian organisations are making “real progress” in AI adoption, moving beyond pilot projects to redesign work around the technology, Deloitte reports in its *State of AI in the Enterprise* study [link](https://www.financialstandard.com.au/news/ai-moves-beyond-pilot-phase-for-aussie-businesses-deloitte-179814524). The survey of 3,500 global leaders found that 39% of the Australian cohort are reshaping several key processes around AI, and 73% expect AI to handle the majority of routine knowledge-work tasks within three years.

81% of respondents said AI has improved the speed of decision-making and execution. Yet only 25% are using AI for deep transformation such as creating new products or services, reengineering core processes or fundamentally reinventing their business model.

86% of Australian leaders expect their organisation’s AI capability to increase moderately or significantly over the next 12 months. Reported revenue gains from AI have risen from 20% in January to 27% currently.

71% of companies track total spend on AI inference and API consumption, the highest level of tracking across the metrics in the survey, with technology, media and telecom leading at 75%.
