SUMMARY:Upcoming Webinar: Introduction to the Futures of Seafood Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 30th April\, 2024\n11.30am – 12.30pm (AEST)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeafood Industry Australia and the Blue Economy CRC are offering Australia’s seafood and ocean estate stakeholders a front-row seat in telling the seafood story. \nHear from the Futures of Seafood study team as they take a deep dive into how the study will deliver an industry informed program of work to support a secure\, resilient and thriving Australian seafood community. It will reinforce the seafood stakeholders’ commitment to fair and equitable access\, industry-led research and innovation\, and trusted stewardship of our coasts and oceans. \nFutures will foster an understanding of the seafood industry\, ensuring it is deeply valued by all. \nThrough the 18-month study\, we will map\, model and describe the spatial\, economic and social impacts of the full suite of government policies and targets that impact ocean access on the seafood industry and will seek to answer: \n\nWhat is the future of seafood production and therefore is availability under threat?\nWhat if we are at tipping point? As competition for ocean space intensifies\, how can we measure and manage the cumulative impacts of the Government’s policy decisions on seafood as an existing industry/operator?\n\nBy securing funding co-contributions from the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation\, Blue Economy CRC\, the Department of Agriculture\, Fisheries and Forestry\, and the Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, Environment and Water; we expect this work will be used as a single source of truth that can inform government priorities\, activities and decisions around the use of the ocean estate\, while reducing the duplication and burden on contributors. \nThis is a time-critical opportunity and a ‘once in a decade’ co-designed\, multi-disciplinary and collaborative study on Australian seafood. This collaborative approach is fundamental to ensure this study achieves its ambitious suite of outputs while representing the industry members’ data\, experiences and insights with respect and integrity. \nThe study is founded on an enduring data collation and management platform\, an inclusive stakeholder engagement schedule of events and activities and a strong outreach program that will be undertaken by a series of expert commissions and overseen and supported by a strong and inclusive governance framework.

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.
