A significant shift seems to be occurring within the AI startup scene. How do you define your unique advantages when bespoke AI models can no longer effectively compete with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Foundation models? Could a larger team of product managers and a deeper understanding of your market and customers really provide a…
It was a great pleasure to join the panel online (with experts from US NSF, UK and EU) on International Cooperation for Research at the Privacy Symposium https://lnkd.in/gafct3DX. I presented CSIRO’s Data61 Australia’s latest research and regulation development in privacy and data protection and used responsible AI as an example of how we are forming a global research…
It was great to host the US NSF delegation (including the honorable Sethuraman Panchanathan) and minister Ed Husic MP yesterday and showcase the latest in CSIRO’s Data61 responsible AI research, focusing on responsible AI engineering that bridges the gap between high-level principles/frameworks/standards and low-level algorithms. In addition to showing how our responsible AI pattern catalogue https://lnkd.in/gkxVSKTz has been used in AU companies…
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…
