- 30 leader profiles and their 2026 AI work
- Executives, technologists, founders and voices
- The list in numbers
- How we chose the list, with public sources
This report profiles 30 women leading AI in Australia and sets out what each of them is doing with AI in 2026. They work in large companies, research, start-ups and education. Some run Telstra, Canva and Microsoft's local business. Others lead research at Google and UNSW, build at OpenAI, Google Cloud and Westpac, or found start-ups that bring AI to women's health, disability and neurodivergent families.
We screened more than 60 women from 2026 award lists, conference programmes, news coverage, company pages and their own posts. Every pick needed AI work we could date to 2026 from a public source, a current role we could confirm, and a record of sharing her AI work publicly.
Inside you get a profile of each of the 30 across three groups (Executives, Technologists, and Founders and voices), the list in numbers, and the public sources behind every profile.
