🔥 Why advance Quantum Machine Learning before we have million-qubit fault-tolerant quantum computers? 🤔 I get asked this a lot. The answer is multi-faceted:1️⃣ 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 – Researching quantum ML now helps pinpoint which problems will benefit the most and steer quantum technology development in the right direction.2️⃣ 𝐔𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐬 – Progress in one…

Worried about how AI value capture and redistribution can truly happen amidst the unbalanced power dynamics across the value chain—from data creators to labelers, to model creators, deployers, and users? Proud to share that the 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐬 (𝐍𝐅𝐓𝐬) 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐄𝐑𝐂-𝟓𝟓𝟐𝟏, CSIRO’s Data61 researchers (Shiping Chen Xiwei (Sherry) Xu et al.) proposed has been recently…

🎉 Exciting News! The 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 (𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐑) 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 is here! After a long journey, we’re thrilled to see it come to life with our great partner at Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML). Beyond the headline research topics, here are some of the key rationales behind our four research themes and how CSIRO’s Data61‘s…

🌟 Congratulations to CSIRO for being ranked as the leading research institute in several fields in the latest Research Magazine published by the Australian! https://lnkd.in/gYKfrabf I want to call out two teams within my own research program at CSIRO’s Data61 🔒 The cybersecurity and quantum systems team has consistently held the #1 spot over the…

🚀 Exciting to see NAIC releasing “AI and ESG: An Introductory Guide for ESG Practitioners”! https://lnkd.in/gHjZ6qng CSIRO’s Data61 work featured prominently, and it’s fantastic to see our contributions expanded with even more practical examples and insights. 🌍💡 🔹 The report adopts the definition of Responsible AI from our book, Responsible AI: Best Practices for Creating…

🎉 It’s finally here – the first version of Australia’s Voluntary AI Safety Standard! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gU694ScG led by National AI Centre Collaborating with the amazing teams at Gradient Institute and Human Technology Institute, I led the overall technical oversight of the standard with deep expertise from Data61’s responsible AI science team. The journey has just…

I was recently featured in the latest Australian Public Service (APS) Data Profession Spotlight. I shared my journey in data (well before AI was the thing) and discussed the importance of data, AI, and the responsible engineering of data/AI-based systems. See pdf here
