Fifth Quadrant has released the latest Australian Responsible AI (RAI) Index

The latest Australian Responsible AI (RAI) Index 2025 has officially launched.
Now in its fourth iteration, the 2025 Index provides in-depth analysis and valuable insights into how Australian organisations are adopting and implementing Responsible AI (RAI) practices.
The index categorises organisations into four maturity levels – Emerging, Developing, Implementing, and Leading – based on their adoption of key RAI practices such as fairness, accountability, transparency, explainability, and safety.
Download the 2025 Index to discover practical insights and opportunities to strengthen your organisation’s responsible AI approach.
This year’s Index provides Australia’s most comprehensive benchmark of responsible AI maturity.

Key insights include:
• 30 percent of organisations report productivity gains from responsible AI
• Leaders achieve up to three times greater operational and innovation benefits
• A persistent confidence–implementation gap, with many overestimating their maturity
This year also marks the launch of Australia’s first national Responsible AI Self-Assessment Tool.
As part of the 2025 Index, the Responsible AI Self-Assessment Tool, developed by Fifth Quadrant and sponsored by the National AI Centre (NAIC), helps Australian organisations evaluate their maturity in responsible AI practices.

The tool enables your organisation to:
• Measure your current AI maturity
• Benchmark performance against industry peers
• Receive tailored guidance aligned with the Voluntary AI Safety Standard (VAISS)
