New tech like AI, 5G and machine learning threaten to widen the STEM gender gap. We simply must avoid bias in these new innovations.

The software works in all environments 24/7, identifying pests in real-time. Not only does it identify pests, it explains its reason for the identification and ensures all detections are correctly associated with the individual container ID.

In a series of experiments, Australian researchers showed how machines can find vulnerabilities in human decision-making and exploit them to influence our behaviour.

Every interaction between citizens and governments generates data. When that data is gathered, analysed, and put to good use by skilled professionals, it can generate amazing outcomes for citizens and the community. Data can describe the preferences and needs of individual people, enabling agencies to deliver personalised services for citizens in the same way that […]

Having your future determined based on someone else’s past has enormous implications. The kind of social data that is involved in these critical life decisions is inherently unpredictable.

Data quality is everything when it comes to making sound decisions on governance. Every government organisation relies on it to survive and thrive.

The term ‘AI’ was first coined at the 1956 Dartmouth Conference when a group of scientists came together to discuss how to make machines simulate human thinking.

Machine learning analysed 3.5 million books to find that adjectives ascribed to women tend to describe physical appearance, whereas words that refer to behavior go to men.

Government bodies need to take a special approach to procurement when it comes to artificial intelligence, according to the World Economic Forum’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

A program that brings Australia’s innovators together to solve real-world problems using space data and capabilities has launched this week. Organised by Amazon Web Services and Deloitte, the Gravity Challenge is a six-week program which poses a range of problems set by Australian organisations across insurance, mining, government, and health sectors.

The world is changing fast, and business-as-usual will not prepare us for all that lies ahead. By embedding agile innovation processes into our work, the NSW Department of Education is accelerating education reform to match the speed of progress.

The Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner has published a book on the profound social, technological, and ethical issues that are rearing their heads the rise of artificial intelligence, co-authored by eight experts and specifically aimed at public servants.
