The biggest AI leadership day in Australia, during AI month! 🌟I participated in a panel on ‘Powering Productivity with Generative AI’. Here are my main messages: – Like car brakes enable cars to run faster and with confidence, responsible AI is crucial for accelerating AI technology adoption. Australia may not create the fastest or largest…

Here’s a curious thing: Generative AI can do more than create text, images, and videos. It’s also adept at generating code, diagnostics, plans, recommendations, predictions, and classifications… 🤔 But how does this differ from traditional predictive AI, planning AI, and AI recommenders? Or consider this: If an AI model can learn to perform all these…

I enjoyed the Defence AI Symposium 2023, which offered a diverse perspective on using AI in a defence context, emphasizing trustworthiness and responsibility. I delivered a talk titled “Beyond AI Models: Responsible AI in the Era of Frontier Models,” where I focused on: Selected Slides: Dropbox 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 at CSIRO’s Data61: https://lnkd.in/gyzjE4-i𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤: https://lnkd.in/gsQz5swy

🛫 I thoroughly enjoyed my quick 2-day trip to Singapore. I couldn’t resist a bit of mischief by titling my keynote at Singapore’s AIMX Conference, “Navigating Frontier AI Safety: The Science of Responsible AI in Australia” 🇦🇺, given it was just a day before the UK AI Safety Summit. 😜 Setting cheekiness aside, our scientific…

I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the October Sky event organized by Chaos1, where I gave a talk on ‘AI Transformation,’ featuring a deliberately provocative subtitle: ‘A Clash with Human Expertise.’ I opened with a 1945 quote from Vannevar Bush: ‘Consider a future device…in which an individual stores all his books, records, and…

With all the buzz around generative AI in business, I am lifting the cover on how GenAI is changing the way we do science. I was glad to give a talk at AWS’s event on Generative AI in Research. Key messages include References Zhu, L., Xu, X., Lu, Q., Governatori, G., Whittle, J., 2022. AI…

This one focuses on the evolving nature and value of human expertise. What should we teach and learn?

It was a great panel discussion on why we can look at responsible AI through the lens of ESG. My key messages are:

It was my absolute pleasure to deliver the opening talk at the AI workshop at the Australian Federal Police, where many senior executives attended. This talk differed from my usual presentations on AI engineering and responsible AI. I focused on the evolving nature of AI and how the roles of human and expert knowledge are…
