It was my pleasure to deliver the AICS 2022 keynote yesterday. You can find a subset of the slides below. As CSIRO’s Data61 engage with our industry and government partners, we often hear tales of disjointed and growing risk types (cybersecurity, AI, privacy, ethics, ESG, sovereignty.. ) and the lament of scarce expertise in each of them.…
I always enjoy a conference where you feel a major directional change is happening. The Defence Test and Evaluation Conference (DTEC) was such an amazing event. It was the feeling that traditional engineering, V&V and assurance thinking were no longer sufficient. My keynote talk was on connecting many digital twins (from device levels to system…
It was fun joining as a talking head on Auzbiz’s TV interview on AI. After a trite “we shall not worry” answer to the unavoidable “AI becoming sentient” question, I directed the “worry” to the more immediate AI safety and ethical risks. I also joked about how my AI “CoPilot” is writing better code than…
Here is my talk – “Cyber technologies for SME growth – Barriers and Solutions” at CSIRO’s Data61‘s exciting event at the cool Powerhouse Museum.
It was my pleasure to deliver the opening keynote at this year’s IEEE Blockchain Conference. Apart from featuring CSIRO’s Data61‘s recent research in distributed trust architecture/blockchain and responsible data usage/AI, I also had some fun venturing into the Metaverse (where digital twins meet with NPCs? … including a Free Guy movie reference). Web3 is still too…
It was my great pleasure to be on the Finance Regulation Technology (FRT) podcast series, hosted by Laurence White. FRT Podcast is a popular podcast published by the Institute of International Finance (IIF), the leading institute that helps the financial services industry and the public sector understand technology-driven trends reshaping the industry.CSIRO’s Data61 has been the interim…
Here are my software architecture keynote slides on “Distributed Trust Architecture – The New Reality of ML-based Systems.” It’s based on the latest scientific papers and projects from CSIRO’s Data61 Thanks to all the co-authors! Abstract: Rarely are ML-based systems in the real world about training a model over some centralised datasets and then integrating…
I had the great pleasure to present at Reserve Bank of Australia on CSIRO’s Data61 latest innovations in blockchain, RegTech, data sharing/analytics, responsible AI and the upcoming Digital Finance CRC. Enjoyed the thoughtful questions at the end. A confluence of factors will make the coming years very interesting – payments system innovation, central bank digital…
After all the high-level responsible/ethical AI principles and frameworks, how do we operationalise them? What about the confusion among the terms – trust, trustworthiness, ethical AI, responsible AI and trustworthy AI? Interpretability vs Explainability? What are CSIRO’s Data61 and our collaborators across Australia working on right now? I am sharing some thoughts and updates via a SIGGRAPH…
I recently joined a virtual panel organised by Attorney-General’s Department sharing lessons and opportunities in using RegTech in Industrial Relations for the reform working groups. Here are the slides.CSIRO’s Data61‘s RegTech project (led by Mark Staples) uses rules-as-code principles to turn text rules in legislations, guidance, advices, policies, controls, agreement and contracts into machine understandable code…
