The Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) at the University of Adelaide and CSIRO have launched the Responsible AI Research Centre (RAIR) at Lot Fourteen with $20 million in joint funding from the University of Adelaide, CSIRO, and the SA Government. RAIR will position Australia as a global leader in responsible AI research, addressing ethical challenges such as bias, transparency, and privacy through four key research themes: ➡️ Tackling misinformation: developing systems to ensure AI-generated content uses trusted data sources. ➡️ Safe AI in the real world: exploring foundational science questions underpinning AI’s interaction with the physical world, including robotics. ➡️ Diverse AI: creating systems that assess their knowledge limitations and express uncertainty, reducing AI hallucinations. ➡️ AI that can explain its actions: advancing AI’s understanding of cause-and-effect relationships. “Our research will enhance the lives of everyday Australians and open new avenues for investment and economic activity,” said Professor Simon Lucey, AIML Director, emphasising RAIR’s role in delivering AI solutions that are both innovative and trustworthy. The centre builds on AIML’s growing reputation as a hub for AI excellence, complementing the CommBank Centre for Foundational AI Research and the Industrial AI Program, bringing this year’s AI research investment at AIML to over $33 million. Key guests at the launch included The Hon Susan Close MP, Deputy SA Premier; Professor Peter Hoj AC, Vice-Chancellor and President of The University of Adelaide; Michael Brown MP, State Member for Florey; and Professor Jon Whittle, Director of CSIRO's Data61. As Deputy Premier Susan Close observed, “AI is shaping our world, and we need to do it in the most human way possible.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gbxWMGqg #ResponsibleAI #ArtificialIntelligence #UniOfAdelaide #CSIRO Photo caption: From left to right: University of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Peter Høj; Michael Brown, MP; John Whittle, Director of CSIRO’s Data61; The Hon Susan Close MP, Deputy SA Premier; Dr Kathy Nicholson, AIML Institute Manager; Professor Simon Lucey, AIML Director; Andrew Dunbar, Executive Director of the Research and Innovation Group for the Government of South Australia; Professor Professor Aaron Quigley, Science Director and Deputy Director of CSIRO’s Data61 at the RAIR event launch at AIML. | (L to R) Professor Simon Lucey, John Whittle and The Hon Susan Close MP addressing the media. | AIML's Dual Arm Robot (DART) proudly equipped with key stakeholders' apparel.

Last week DAIRNet hosted an engaging AI Symposium as part of the Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AJCAI). The symposium brought together experts from Defence, industry and academia to explore the impacts of AI on decision making, network dynamics, system behaviours and emerging technologies. A big thank you to our speakers, facilitators and participants for their valuable contributions and insightful discussions. We also extend our gratitude to the AJCAI committee for including us in the conference. #AI #AIAustralia #DefenceScience #AJCAI2024 Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence Defence Australia Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG)
