The Australian AI Awards, in conjunction with event stakeholders Momentum Media, and a panel of leading AI professionals, involves a robust awards methodology to form the backbone for assessing and benchmarking Australia’s leading AI professionals and businesses.
All submissions underwent a thorough audit process, checking demographic and other information against category eligibility criteria based on the information provided in the submission.
Finalist submissions were delivered to a panel of respected professionals and business leaders who assessed each submission against the criteria of each award category.
The combined judging scores for each submission in each category were then tabulated, with the highest-scoring submission deemed the winner.
