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

SUMMARY:CSIRO: Economic Impact of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:The National AI Centre is excited to host a conversation that explores how Australian organisations can prioritise their time and teams to unlock the economic opportunity of generative AI (GAI) in 2024. \nJoin experts from the Tech Council and Microsoft Australia to learn more about the broader economic impact associated with GAI in Australia as well as their insights in the priority actions industries can take to accelerate GAI adoption in their business. \nThe conversation will focus on Australia’s existing comparative advantages in digital innovation that make our industries well positioned to lead in the era of AI. \nThe management of key risks will also be discussed\, including some of the ways that Australian workers can be supported and reskilled\, how access to GAI can be made more equitable\, especially for small and medium sized enterprises. \nThis presentation will be based on data captured in the Tech Council’s “Australia’s Generative AI Opportunity” report.

SUMMARY:Human Centric AI Seminar: An Argument for Limiting Collection of Data
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n“Notice and choice\,” the dominant model for governing digital data collection and use\, assumes that if proper transparency is provided people will only use platforms that have data practices they agree with. But\, in reality\, widespread data collection and use of machine learning enables inferences to be generated that are hard for people to anticipate. This talk describes my recent work focused on people’s beliefs and expectations about what data are collected about them and how those data are used\, and makes an argument about how specific limits on data collection and inferences could help people make privacy choices that are more aligned with their preferences. \nBio:\nDr. Emilee Rader is an Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Information at Michigan State University. She studies how people reason and make choices about data collection and inferences enabled by digital technologies\, to better understand why people struggle to manage their privacy\, and to discover new ways to help people gain more appropriate control over information about them. Dr. Rader earned her PhD from the University of Michigan School of Information and spent two years at Northwestern University in the Department of Communication Studies\, where she was a recipient of the highly competitive Computing Innovation post-doctoral fellowship award from the Computing Research Association. She also has a professional Master’s degree from the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University\, and worked with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Motorola Labs designing and evaluating applications for mobile technologies. Her work has been funded by several grants from the National Science Foundation\, and she primarily publishes in usable privacy and security and human-computer interaction venues. \n\n\n\n\nRegister now\nPrice\nFree \nEvent date and time\nWednesday 28 Jun 2023\n10.00am to 11.00am AEST \nLocation\nOnline virtual event\nLogin details will be emailed to registrants
