The finalist list, which was announced on Thursday, 19 September 2024, features over 190 high-achieving professionals and businesses across 25 submission-based categories.
Finalist Geoff Gourley, Founder & CEO at ESG&I, said “when I embarked on my journey into AI around 12 months ago and set out to build ChatESGTM and integrate GenerationAI into ESG consulting, I never thought it would lead to be recognised in the Australian AI Awards 2024. I am very humbled being named a finalist for AI Consultant of the Year.”
Securing a place as a finalist is widely recognised as a remarkable achievement in the artificial intelligence industry. It signifies the unwavering determination and commitment of individuals, teams and businesses playing a pivotal role in propelling the industry forward.
