The Academy recommends that:

• Australia uplifts AI capability across the scientific workforce. An investment plan to build national capability across the science system, including in fundamental AI science, is required.
• Training is needed to ensure that Australia’s scientific workforce possesses the necessary skills and knowledge to responsibly use Gen AI tools.
• The government and research sector should jointly lead the development of clear, evidence-informed guidelines that address the opportunities and manage the risks AI brings to the science sector.
