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…

Recently, I had the great pleasure of participating in the Bureau of Meteorology’s strategy day, where we explored the transformative potential of Generative AI. Reflecting on CSIRO’s experience with digital science transformation and examining our industrial insights into how generative AI diverges from its predecessors was a truly fascinating exchange. I clarified common misconceptions and…

(selected slides only) Responsible/Trustworthy AI in the Era of Foundation Models The emergence of large language models (LLM) such as GPT4 has garnered significant attention, placing foundation models at the forefront of AI systems. However, integrating foundation models raises concerns regarding responsible/trustworthy AI due to their opaque nature and rapidly moving capability boundaries. This talk…

Title: Software Engineering as the Linchpin of Responsible AI Abstract: From humanity’s existential risks to safety risks in critical systems to ethical risks, responsible AI, as the saviour, has become a massive research challenge with significant real-world consequences. However, achieving responsible AI remains elusive despite the plethora of high-level ethical principles, risk frameworks and progress…

With generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the pace of change dominating headlines across the globe, there is a growing focus on the importance of safe and ethical AI. Governments, businesses, and citizens all want to know how to ensure responsible AI is developed and deployed in a way that benefits business and community. Join the…
