I often get asked which underlying foundation model one should choose for their use cases, and whether an organisation or a country should even train one given the immense compute and talent challenges. Itโs a complex space to navigate. ๐ This question becomes even more perplexing with some recent intriguing discoveries, such as:1. Picking and…
You may have seen our ESG-AI framework for investors released a few months ago as a high-level report and associated question bank tools https://lnkd.in/gw9FFKJG Thereโs a lot of additional science and detailed work behind it. For those interested in knowing more and contributing to advancing the science of measuring Responsible AI through the lens of…
The recent global IT outage due to an update from CrowdStrike taught us some interesting insights. While we could blame upstreams, why can certain organisations recover within hours while others may need weeks? Why are the most heavily regulated industries (health, finance, airlines) hit the hardest? ๐ค I answered these questions in the opening panel…
I had the great pleasure of chairing a panel (Penten CEO Greg Barsby, QuintessenceLabs founding CTO John Leiseboer, Services Australia CIDO Charles McHardie AM, and Danesh Jogia from Australian Signals Directorate) on post-quantum cybersecurity and data management resilience at the “Quantum Meets Public Service” event. The event was amazingly organised by Cathy Foley‘s Chief Scientist…
Had a great evening at this Responsible AI for Investors event, deep-diving into our collaborative work with Alphinity Investment Management – The intersection of Responsible AI and ESG: A Framework for Investors. I hope I didnโt scare people with the conundrum of governing and controlling AI that might be smarter in some aspects, and that…
Congratulations to our team’s wins in Victorian iAward! ๐ โ Muhammad Usman‘s Quantum Shield for Artificial Intelligence Systems won the Technology Platform category.

It was a pleasure to deliver a talk last week at The Future Generation Enterprise Architecture (FGEA) Symposium hosted by ACS (Australian Computer Society) and organised by Asif Gill. I focused on data trust at scale, challenging some conventional views on data quality in distributed, at-scale, AI-amenable environments. Some lessons come from CSIRO’s Data61 technology…
