Automated Societies: What Do We Need To Know?

Originally presented on 21 July 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) has probably already made decisions about your life.

Platforms use AI and other forms of automation to recommend music for you to listen to on Spotify, personalise your news feed and recommend things to buy on Facebook. 

AI and automated decision-making is being used across society to solve problems as diverse as improving social services, creating more efficient transport, to greater access to healthcare.

AI and Automation is already embedded in many processes in society and it is changing the way we live. And if AI hasn't already made a decision that affects your life, it almost certainly will, whether that be shaping what you see on social media, providing better disease diagnosis, or detecting if you are driving safely.

Host: Jenny Kennedy (RMIT)

This panel brings together internationally recognised experts and industry participants to discuss the opportunities of Automated Societies and what we need to know.
