Rage Against the Machines: Reshaping Australia’s AI Future

Australia is making decisions about AI: how it’s built, how it’s used and who answers for it. This one-day event brings together contrasting voices to work through those decisions and shape a better path forward.

Many Australians are angry at AI, while others see real promise. The day takes an honest look at both, with a focus on what comes next. AI is here to stay, but the question is how much say we have in it.

Each 70-minute conversation brings together a moderator and speakers who won’t always agree, followed by audience questions. Conversation topics include, Opportunity, Climate and the Data Centre; Power, Security and Independence; Mind, Attention and Dissent; and On Our Terms.

This event is fully catered for and will be followed by drinks.

Presented by The Information Rights Project, Common Edge, Deakin Digital Life Lab and Deakin Motion Lab.
