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. Hand-written abstract for historical archive in the castle! With the successful implementation of Large Language Models (LLMs) in chatbots like ChatGPT, there is growing attention on foundation models, which…

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…
The Innovate to Grow program’s next round has been launched. This program aims to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in advancing their cyber security and digital technology research and development. EoI is due 15 May. https://www.csiro.au/cyberdigitech Here are some quotes from me in the media release. “The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large…
(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…
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…
