I am thrilled to participate in this year’s UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Kyoto, where the discussion on Responsible AI and GenAI takes center stage. On the first day, I had the honour of speaking about Australia’s approach to Responsible AI and contributing to the panel titled “Shaping AI Technologies to Ensure Respect for…
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…
I really like conferences where I can gain insights from experts in other domains. The SAP Metal, Mining, Mills Industries Summit was one such event. Hearing from some of the world’s leading experts about the intricate evolution of sustainability/ESG standards and their interaction with systems like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the EU…
As an organiser of the Dagstuhl seminar, I enjoyed a week of roadmap setting for Software Architecture & Machine Learning. Here is the talk I delivered.
