SUMMARY:CSIRO: Sustainability Science Series
DESCRIPTION:How can we drive multiple sustainability outcomes simultaneously? Professor Andy Stirling and discussants\nRequired shifts to a more sustainable society mean working on many fronts at once. This can be overwhelming. There are many potential drivers of change\, just as there are many forms of incumbency and inertia that need to be overcome. This complexity can lead individuals and organisations\, understandably\, to ‘stick to their knitting’ and focus on piecemeal contributions. In turn\, a narrow focus can result in disjointed\, uncoordinated and fractured activities that lead to ‘unintended’ outcomes. Potential examples are numerous: the scaling of a critical minerals industry in Australia could have diverse social\, cultural and environmental consequences\, depending on how it is developed and implemented; the use of the land sector to off-set other sectors creates diverse risks for farming communities and food security; the shift to an electrified urban transport system could have very differing consequences for health and equity depending on which options are prioritised\, by whom. \nNavigating such uncertainties can be usefully aided by linking approaches that work in different ways to steer outcomes. This is the argument of our guest speaker\, Professor Andy Stirling. With his colleagues\, Andy has explored how different approaches to driving sustainability can be considered together\, and potentially\, operate synergistically. \nIn this talk Andy will provide an overview of these approaches\, how they can be understood and applied synergistically\, and his current thinking and analysis about options for linking structural\, systemic and enabling approaches in different settings. Structural approaches relate to deep changes in the ways consumption and production are governed\, organised and enacted. Systemic approaches focus on interactions and interdependencies across institutions (e.g. policies)\, technologies\, and wider social processes to steer change in complex systems. Enabling approaches focus on people\, their values and goals\, and collective capacities to navigate and act to create preferred futures. \nAndy’s talk will be followed by an engaging\, moderated discussion with leaders in CSIRO and beyond\, to explore the implications and potential to link integrate these approaches in applied work. Our speaker\, discussants and moderator are introduced below. \n\n\nPricing\n\n\nFREE \n\n\n\n\nDates and Times\n\nEvent date:Feb 2024\n\nWednesday 14 Feb 2024\nOnline virtual event \n8.30am to 9.30am AEDT \nLogin details will be emailed to registrants

SUMMARY:CSIRO: Human Rights and AI – a new impact assessment tool
DESCRIPTION:The National AI Centre is delighted to host the Australian Human Rights Commissioner\, Lorraine Finlay\, and Head of Privacy & Data Ethics for National Australia Bank\, Jade Haar\, in a discussion about a new tool to help organisations consider and measure the risk to human rights posed by AI systems. \nAI has the capabilities to improve efficiency and increase customer satisfaction when engaging with banking services. However\, given the important role banks play in storing the wealth of Australians\, it is important that when integrating AI into decision-making it is done ethically and with human rights at the forefront. \nThe Australian Human Rights Commission have partnered with NAB to develop and produce this human rights impact assessment tool. \nThis tool can be used to assess whether an AI system is lawful\, transparent\, explainable\, used responsibly\, and subject to appropriate human oversight\, review\, and intervention. \nDuring this free webinar you will hear how the tool was developed\, how it can be used and what Australian businesses can learn from its development.

SUMMARY:(re)Launching She Codes Australia
DESCRIPTION:We’re so excited to be re-launching She Codes Australia! \nShe Codes has been on such an incredible journey over the last nine years of supporting women in tech Australia-wide. In its earliest days\, She Codes started with a small committee and since then\, it has grown beyond what we could have imagined. Spacecubed was a big part of the journey\, but in 2024 we are heading out on our own as a new entity She Codes Australia Pty Ltd. \nWe are SO excited about the next phase of growth for She Codes (and for women in tech)\, and thought the best way to celebrate how far we’ve come\, and where we are going\, is through a party. This event is a celebration of women in tech\, a networking opportunity to meet other likeminded people\, and to have the opportunity to start manifesting your goals for 2024. \nTicket prices include: \n\n1 drink token\nA coveted She Codes cupcake (naturally!)\nLight grazing\nNetworking opportunities\nDoor prizes\n\nThere is a cash bar for any additional drinks you may wish to purchase. \nIn the interests of making this event as accessible as possible we have introduced a Pay it Forward ticket option. If you’re in the position to do so\, grab a Pay it Forward ticket\, so someone in the community can come along for free. If you’re interested in applying for a sponsored ticket – please fill in this form. \nYou should come if: \n\nYou want to meet other incredible humans in the tech scene\nYou’re eager to learn more about She Codes programs\nYou’re exploring tech as a career pathway and want to network with people in industry\nYou want to dance and celebrate kicking off 2024!

SUMMARY:ACS WA CONVERSATION CIRCLES: SUPPORTING WOMEN IN TECH
DESCRIPTION:This is a women’s in person event to be held in Perth\, Western Australia. \nAs reported in 2023’s Australia’s Digital Pulse\, approximately 30% of Australia’s technology professionals are women\, with progress toward improving representation and equal participation of women in the workforce being glacially slow. \nOf the women currently employed in technology roles\, many have experienced and continue to face barriers and career challenges. From those navigating their way in the early stages of their career\, through to established professionals\, they all seem to face the same barriers. Job progression\, network building\, imposter syndrome\, and a lack of opportunities for them to innovate and secure well-paying roles being just a few of the key issues faced by women across the Australian technology landscape. \nIn an effort to help bridge the divide and support women in tech\, ACS is eager to delve deeper into the wants and needs of women working in the sector. Through candid and open discussions\, we’d like to gather broader and honest insights from women on their various pain points and understand how ACS might help solve them. \nFacilitated by ACS’ Vice President of Communities\, Jo Stewart-Rattray\, we warmly welcome and encourage all women working in technology to attend and participate in our series of conversation circles\, so we can continue to work toward building an equitable and diverse Australian technology sector. \n  \nAGENDA: \n5.30pm – Registrations open \n6:00pm – Discussion commences \n7:00pm – Networking and light refreshments \n\n\n\n\nCONTACT DETAILS\n\nVicki Leddin\nMember Services & Events Manager (WA)\nvicki.leddin@acs.org.au
