I gave a lecture at an Executive MBA course on the interactions between regulations and standards in AI, data, and digital technologiesโboth globally and in Australia. Here are the key takeaways. I highlighted potential solutions to these challenges, including ongoing efforts in Australia to develop AI safety standards that are currently being established. Dropbox slides…
When I was writing my last two books, I kept wondering: would this be the last book I ever wrote? Why would people still seek knowledge from books when AI can synthesise information across diverse sources, delivering it in a personalised and conversational manner tailored to individual knowledge levels and interests? And to be honest,…
๐ฅ Why advance Quantum Machine Learning before we have million-qubit fault-tolerant quantum computers? ๐ค I get asked this a lot. The answer is multi-faceted:1๏ธโฃ ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ โ Researching quantum ML now helps pinpoint which problems will benefit the most and steer quantum technology development in the right direction.2๏ธโฃ ๐๐ง๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ฌ โ Progress in one…
๐ Kicking off the new year with a big topic – “Europe’s Path in Artificial Intelligence”. I had the privilege of joining a stellar panel organised by Fraunhofer, with an online audience of ~500. I shared Australiaโs AI regulation status, including the pivotal role of the Voluntary AI Safety Standards in accelerating AI adoption with…
Worried about how AI value capture and redistribution can truly happen amidst the unbalanced power dynamics across the value chainโfrom data creators to labelers, to model creators, deployers, and users?
