Congratulations to Sunny Lee (Finalist of AI in Law) and Amena Khatun (Winner of AI in Quantum)! What a night. These are our program’s third consecutive years of winning.

Honoured to be named a finalist at the #AFRAIAwards for our Responsible AI work at CSIRO’s Data61. 🙌 It was a fantastic night celebrating Australia’s vibrant AI community — and inspiring to see so many collaborators, alumni, and peers leading the charge on impactful AI innovation. At CSIRO, our ambition is simple: 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…

🚀 What’s the hottest trend in AI agents right now?It’s not the traditional workflow-based or API-calling agents. The most interesting agents today are 𝗚𝗨𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 — ones that see what you see on the screen. They don’t just execute calls behind the scenes — they observe, interpret, and interact with visual interfaces just like human…

Did you know CSIRO’s Data61 open-source data catalog system, Magda https://magda.io/, powers data.gov.au and many other key infrastructure systems like national maps and digital twins across Australia — and we recently launched a new version of it with in-browser LLM integration? But our research and engineering team (Jacky Jiang Chen Wang et al.) has also…

🔥 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…
