How winners will be chosen
The Australian AI Awards program, 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 undergo a thorough audit process, checking demographic and other information against category eligibility criteria based on the information provided in the submission.
Those submissions deemed eligible against submission criteria are reviewed and assessed by a panel of Momentum Media events and editorial team members and executives, plus stakeholders where required, to determine the finalists for each category.
Finalist submissions will now be delivered to a panel of respected professionals and business leaders who assess each submission against the criteria of each award category.
The judges score each part of the submission across the category’s criteria to reach an aggregated score. Several judges will individually assess each submission for each category, offering a blended score and assessment.
The combined judging scores for each submission in each category are tabulated, with the highest-scoring submission deemed the winner.
