Deep analysis reveals AI's impact on Australian tech jobs
Detailed analysis of critical Australian IT jobs shows artificial intelligence will not make these roles obsolete but rather allow workers to do more of their existing complex tasks. Education behemoth Pearson has analysed the work of Australian software developers, computer systems analysts and network architects, finding these workers will save between 4.5 to seven hours a week in five years' time with effective use of technology. Pearson Asia Pacific executive Craig McFarlane told NewsWire that jobs needed to be 'redesigned'. 'We can't afford to keep chasing talent externally. The real opportunity lies in rethinking the structure of roles so we can unlock the capacity we already have,' he said. 'AI is creating space – time that we can reinvest in upskilling, creativity and innovation.' The research modelled the future impact of 34 emerging technology types on 76,600 granular tasks. The five-year impact is based on the projected adoption rates in Australia's IT industry that are already under way. Workers in five high-value tech roles saved between 4.5 and 7 hours a week, based on the analysis. 'That's nearly a day each week that can be reinvested into strategic, creative, or growth-focused work,' Mr McFarlane said. 'By starting the process of role redesign now, businesses can close skills gaps faster, improve retention and strengthen their competitiveness, all while preparing their workforce for the future.' The researchers are confident the use of AI will not make these workers obsolete, instead just automate repetitive and routine tasks. 'The roles themselves remain intact; it's the nature of the work within them that evolves,' Mr McFarlane said. 'Businesses can free their people to focus on higher-value activities like strategic planning, innovation, and cross-functional collaboration. 'This is about redeploying talent, not replacing it, and the gains are significant. In some cases, we modelled that teams could double their output without adding headcount.' While this study looked at tech roles, the researchers highlighted other industries making significant use of artificial intelligence and robotic process automation (RPA). Finance and banking are 'leading adopters' of AI and RPA, Mr McFarlane said. Healthcare companies are investing heavily in AI for diagnostics, patient systems, and data analytics. Mining firms have long used automation for safety and efficiency and are now using AI for routine maintenance and further efficiencies. Retail and logistics companies are using AI to forecast demand and manage warehouses and supply chains. 'In each of these sectors, the adoption of AI tools is creating opportunities to redesign roles and unlock hidden capacity within existing teams,' Mr McFarlane said. Schools are another sector figuring out how to use generative AI. St Mary MacKillop College in Melbourne's southwest has taken on the challenge of leading the wave for multiple reasons; AI has the potential to better teach kids, the tech can help teachers plan and assess, the software is getting better, and AI simply needs to be taught in safe, ethical and effective ways. St Mary MacKillop digital learning co-ordinator Trent Wilson told NewsWire the school was using a small number of 'carefully selected' generative AI tools. Students in years 7 to 10 are using an AI feedback tool for responses about what they have done well and how to improve. The tool is called Education Perfect; some tasks that the students do and get feedback from are created by Education Perfect, some are created by the school. Students in years 10 to 12 are using a research chatbot called Perplexity. The school is teaching the students how to speak to the bot, what constitutes safe and ethical use, and how to critically evaluate the bot's responses. 'Using an external tool with older students acknowledges their need for greater agency and prepares them for a future in which AI literacy is essential,' Mr Wilson said. 'This tool is not writing student work, rather guiding students on refining and editing their own ideas and writing.' Throughout 2024, college staff did professional learning, academic reading and research and ran trials with select classes. In 2025, the school had its rules and principles ready to go. MacKillop's AI use was grounded in critical thinking, ethical use and academic integrity, Mr Wilson said. The college is not using AI for any counselling services. 'AI is an incredibly fast-moving technological phenomenon that has tremendous potential,' Mr Wilson said. 'Nowhere is the obligation to manage its risks, and unlock its potential, more vital than in education, where we help to shape the next generations.' Shane Smith co-founded the Education Perfect tool being used at MacKillop. He said the program gave teachers more time to focus on one-on-one support. 'In schools that have had time to trial AI, teachers report that it can also help identify learning gaps more quickly and make it easier to plan lessons that meet the needs of different learners,' Mr Smith said. 'These efficiencies are particularly valuable in high-demand classrooms. Any time saved, even if just minutes, can be reinvested directly into students.' The tech developer is also confident advancements will not lead to job losses. 'No, we absolutely don't believe that AI will lead to job losses for teachers in Australia,' he told NewsWire. 'In fact, it will be key to help address teacher shortages by reducing workload and improving efficiency. 'AI is best seen as a tool to augment teacher effort and expertise. The human element of teaching – grounded in trust and mentorship – cannot be replicated by AI.'

ASX hits fresh peak on Friday despite China's unexpected economic shift
Australia's sharemarket continued its strong gains, setting a new record high for the fifth straight session as a strong start to reporting season outweighed weakness out of China. The benchmark ASX200 continued its march higher during Friday afternoon's trading, closing up 64.80 points or 0.73 per cent to 8,938.60, while the broader All Ordinaries finished the day up 63 points or 0.69 per cent to 9,212.10. Australia's dollar also traded 0.13 per cent higher and at the time of writing was buying 65.03 US cents. In a broad market rally, nine of the 11 sectors traded higher with only consumer staples and technology finishing lower. Australia's sharemarket jumped during the afternoon's trading. Picture Newswire/ Gaye Gerard. The big four all gained, led by Westpac which jumped 2.14 per cent to $36.81 after announcing strong quarterly results on Thursday. ANZ also had a strong day up 1.78 per cent to $33.08, while NAB finished 0.80 per cent higher to $39.19 and Commonwealth Bank traded 0.57 per cent higher to $168.17. The materials sector helped lift the market with BHP shares up 1.08 per cent to $41.96, Rio Tinto jumped 1.41 per cent to $115.05 and Fortescue closed 1.28 per cent higher at $19.84. The rise in the materials sector came despite weakness out of China which could impact Australia's major resources sector. AMP chief economist and head of investment strategy Shane Oliver said Chinese economic data for July was soft. 'Retail sales, industrial production and investment all rose less than expected and residential property investment and sales are continuing to fall as are home prices,' Dr Oliver said. 'Unemployment rose slightly although this possibly due to grad and typhoon season.' The market ignored pressures from China, focusing on reporting season which so far has been better than expected. 'Results have been good with more upside than downside surprises, although most results have been in line, and a big increase in the number of companies reporting profits or dividends up on a year ago than in the December half reporting season,' Dr Oliver said. 'Just bear in mind though that it was much like this at the start of the last reporting season as there is a tendency for companies with good results to report early so results may soften over the next couple of weeks.' Nine of the 11 sectors gained. Picture: NewsWire / Damian Shaw He also said consensus earnings expectations are for overall business profits to fall 1.7 per cent. If the results show this, it would be the third year in a row corporate earnings shrunk. In company news, shares in hearing implant maker Cochlear gained 0.99 per cent to $309.03 after announcing a 1 per cent increase in underlying net profits to $392m, while revenue was up 4 per cent. Cochlear said it aimed to help more than 60,000 people to hear using one of its devices over the next year, up from 53,000 in the last financial year. Shares in Amcor sank 9.70 per cent to $13.60 after announcing its fourth-quarter results showing weakness out of its North American businesses. Baby Bunting soared 40.54 to $2.60 on its latest earnings with the business aiming to double its store network. According to its results until June 29 sales grew by 4.7 per cent to $521.9m, while margins increased and underlying net profit under tax soared 228 per cent to $12.1m.

Arika's search for golden game changer
Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. 'Garimpeiro' columnist Barry FitzGerald has covered the resources industry for 35 years. Now he's sharing the benefits of his experience with Stockhead readers. In a $5100/oz-plus Aussie gold market there is nothing quite like a big targeted exploration program in a prodigious gold region to get the interest up. And so it is with Arika Resources (ASX:ARI), which has been attracting followers of late on the strength of its 10,000m drilling program at two projects in the Leonora-Laverton district. It is funded for the hunt after a $5 million capital raise in May and at a share price of 3.9c for a market cap of $33.5 million, Arika has plenty of leverage to exploration success. Investors won't die wondering with this one, as there will be a steady flow of exploration results over the next 6-12 months. Both of the company's projects – Yundamindra and Kookynie – are surrounded by the region's big name producers like Genesis, Northern Star and Gold Fields, among others. As recent activity in the region has demonstrated, there are plenty of options around toll treatment/ore purchase/acquisitions should Arika work up a deposit that is measured in the hundreds of thousands of ounces rather than the millions of ounces category. Arika is after the big discovery for sure. It's just that in this gold price environment there is plenty of value to be had with smaller finds. Think of it as a potential value backstop while Arika continues the hunt for the game changing discovery. Where is the game changer? Both of Arika's projects are peppered with historic workings which are obvious drilling targets. But there are also a bunch of targets hidden from oldtimers by cover. Geophysics and geochemical work leading up to the drilling program has taken what could be called high-priority targets to more than 50. Arika reported first results from drilling at the F1 Fault at the Landed at Last prospect at Yundamindra on Monday. The best intercepts included 4m at 41.56g/t from 52m and 27m at 2.45g/t from 61m, and they've served to rev up interest in the stock. F1is one of several north-east trending structures which cross-cut Landed at Last's mineralisation towards the northern end of what Arika, without blushing, calls the Yellow Brick Road. It is a mineralised structural corridor than extends for more than 16km along the western flank of the Yundamindra syncline. A 10km section of the Yellow Brick Road is dotted with historical workings. Despite its location and history of gold mining, the Yundamindra area has only ever been lightly explored. What modern era drilling was conducted by previous owners was mostly shallow at less than 50m. Before the latest drilling Arika tested for depth extensions, with the deepest hole to date at the prospect returning a super encouraging 14.8m grading 3.1g/t from 87m. More where that came from Arika boss Justin Barton said on Monday that it was important to remember that F1 was just one of the many under-explored prospects along the Yellow Brick Road. Garimpeiro reckons Dorothy most likely agrees. The drill rig motored on from F1 to another highly ranked prospect called Bonaparte (assays pending) and is now testing the Banjo's Camp prospect. As indicated earlier, assay results from the drilling campaign will be rolled out on a regular basis. Over at Kookynie, Arika shares tenement boundaries with Genesis Minerals (ASX:GMD) . An aeromagnetic survey has been completed at the Ithaca prospect, which sits immediately along strike from Genesis' Ulysses gold mine. Like the prospective areas at Yundamindra much of the prospective ground at Kookynie is on mining leases, which means if there is a near-term opportunity to monetise a smallish discovery while the search for the big one goes on, Arika will be able to act quickly.
