It has been a great honour to write an IEEE Software point/counterpoint piece on software engineering for AI with Prof. Mary Shaw at CMU, the towering figure in software engineering. To make such a debate fun and also counter Mary’s cogent arguments, I made my points a bit extreme and contrarian at places to draw responses. :-} Here…
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.…
It’s been a great first day joining Australia’s AI delegation to Israel – the startup nation. No matter how much you’ve read about it, it never beats a deep conversation with the founders, the ecosystem nurturers and the researchers. Lessons of the day, from the philosophical to the technical: the need to fund high-risk AI…
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…
I was thrilled at the NSW iAwards event the other evening – seeing two cybersecurity teams (collaborations between the Cybersecurity CRC, CSIRO’s Data61 and industry/gov partners )named winners and going up to the stage twice with them (although I take no credit for the achievements!). Smart Shield’s anti-phishing technology is an exemplary human-centric machine-learning approach, leveraging human…
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.
The First Complete Guide to DevOps for Software Architects DevOps promises to accelerate the release of new software features and improve monitoring of systems in production, but its crucial implications for software architects and architecture are often ignored. In DevOps: A Software Architect’s Perspective, three leading architects address these issues head-on. The authors review decisions software architects…
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…
