With a unique perspective at the intersection of technology, innovation, and policy, Katherine breaks down how Australia, despite inventing WiFi, is sitting on the sidelines of the AI revolution, missing a $115 billion economic opportunity. She shares how EY has up-skilled over 85% of its 400,000-strong workforce in AI, built the world’s largest private AI platform, and implemented AI agents at scale, while most organisations are still debating their first AI hires.This episode dives deep into what Australia needs to do now to avoid falling irreversibly behind, from setting a bold national AI strategy to investing in mass up-skilling programs and embracing AI across industries like healthcare, financial services, retail, and energy. Katherine also offers inspiring and practical advice for women looking to pivot into AI, shares her favourite tools and productivity hacks (including the AI prompt that gives her “permission to log off” for the day), and calls on every listener to claim their seat at the AI table, before it’s too late.Time Stamps03:03 – What Is EY’s AI Story & Their Internal AI Training Playbook06:28 – EY’s Private AI Platform: How EYQ Empowers 120,000+ Employees13:48 – Australia’s Missed Economic Opportunity: $115B at Stake16:51 – Why EY Built the AI Sentiment Index, And What It Revealed23:32 – The Three Fixes Needed to Course-Correct Australia’s AI Future30:40 – The Five Industries Australians Want AI To Transform35:18 – KB’s Advice for Women Reentering the Workforce in the AI Age39:39 – Rapid Fire: Why Voice-Activated AI Is the Next Big FrontierResources🙋‍♀️ Katherine Boiciuc on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherineboiciuc/📚 EY Skills Passport for Free AI Training - https://www.ey.com/en_gl/ai-skills-passport✨ Connect with Georgie HealyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georginahealy/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgina_healy/Twitter: https://x.com/georgina__healy?lang=enThe Day One NetworkIn The Blink of AI is part of Day One, the podcast network dedicated to founders, operators & investors.Sign up to get your weekly insights into the up-and-coming AI startups: https://dayone.fm/newsletter
