Lu, Q., Zhu, L., Xu, X., Whittle, J., Xing, Z., 2022. Towards a roadmap on software engineering for responsible AI, in: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on AI Engineering: Software Engineering for AI. pp. 101–112.
Zhu, L., Xu, X., Lu, Q., Governatori, G., Whittle, J., 2022. AI and ethics—Operationalizing responsible AI. Humanity Driven AI: Productivity, Well-being, Sustainability and Partnership 15–33. Abstract: In the last few years, AI continues demonstrating its positive impact on society while sometimes with ethically questionable consequences. Building and maintaining public trust in AI has been identified…
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.
