SUMMARY:Human-Centric AI & Security Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nEquipped with smartphones\, tablets\, and virtual reality headsets\, we can now perform a wide variety of tasks from virtually anywhere. However\, this newfound freedom and flexibility come with its own challenges\, particularly in terms of personal privacy. One emerging threat is sophisticated machine learning (ML) attacks that break privacy assumptions by extracting previously undetectable patterns carried by our daily actions. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss two of our recent projects on identifying and mitigating real-world privacy threats. First\, we identify a general keystroke inference attack in the physical world\, where the attacker does not rely on any prior knowledge or labeled data on the target user or their device. Just by analyzing a 10-min video of the target’s typing hands from meters away\, the attacker can extract over 90% of their typed content. This is done by applying a self-supervised learning pipeline to the video\, which curates labeled data from the video and train DNN models to achieve robust inference results. We then extend this attack into virtual reality. By screen-recording the target’s avatar for 10 min\, the attacker can also recover the typed content. This is made possible by the addition of transformer models designed to mitigate digital noise in avatar motion capture. Finally\, I will also discuss ongoing projects that explore new forms of privacy attacks in VR systems. \nBio:\nZhuolin Yang is a final year PhD at SAND Lab\, University of Chicago. She researches security and privacy issues related to user interfaces. Specifically\, she identifies and mitigates new attacks made possible by customized ML solutions. Her work has produced publications at top CS conferences (USENIX Security\, CHI) and media coverages by MIT Technology Review and New Scientist.

SUMMARY:ALA Webinar: Exploring next-gen biodiversity detection technologies
DESCRIPTION:Access to high-quality biodiversity data is more essential than ever in understanding and responding to changes in our natural environment. This information is used for informing planning\, policy and decision-making and delivering research. Through the Atlas of Living Australia\, more than 135 million species occurrence records are available as open data\, with rich information accompanying these records such as images\, location\, spatial\, genetic and related data. \nBy enhancing traditional methods to monitor species with novel technologies\, a more comprehensive view of Australia’s biodiversity can be developed. To celebrate Biodiversity Month in September\, hear from three speakers discuss their use of ecoacoustics\, eDNA and camera trapping as innovative methods to enhance our ability to detect and monitor biodiversity in Australia. \nThis event will be recorded\, with the recording made available through ALA channels in the week following the event. \nThe ALA receives support from the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and is hosted by CSIRO. \nFor further information\, reach out to communications@ala.org.au.

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: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
