Co-Founder and Director
ClearAI
Jisoo Kim is Co-Founder and Director of ClearAI, an Australian advisory helping organisations adopt artificial intelligence responsibly and strategically. ClearAI works with leaders to embed ethical governance, build capability, and design AI strategies that elevate people, protect trust, and create lasting value.
Previously, Jisoo served as Policy Adviser to the Chief of Joint Operations and Digital Media Adviser to former Prime Minister Scott Morrison AC. Across these roles, she witnessed technology reshaping power and influence: from algorithms and meme culture redefining politics, to disinformation warping perceptions across the Indo-Pacific, and advancements on the battlefield altering the ethics and methods of modern warfare.
These experiences now guide her work at ClearAI, where she helps leaders govern people, systems, and technology in an era of rapid disruption – bridging the gap between AI development and AI adoption to strengthen Australia’s resilience and readiness for the future.

About this session
AI is already improving productivity, safety and customer outcomes — but results vary widely. Some deployments deliver measurable gains; others stall because the basics aren’t in place: weak data foundations, no clear owner, gaps in governance, security exposure, missing talent, hidden costs — and a failure to treat AI as operational infrastructure, not a plug-in tool.
This roundtable moves beyond “what is AI?” and focuses on what works—and what doesn’t—when organisations deploy AI responsibly at scale. Leaders from banking, mining, healthcare, government and startups will share real examples: what they shipped, what got stuck, what made it succeed, and the lessons learned the hard way. -
