For more information, please see Abstracts.
  • Day 1 Workshop ‘Diversity & Inclusion in AI: Foundations for Engineering Responsible AI Systems’. Participate in an interactive workshop designed to build practical skills for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across AI research, policy, and industry. You will leave this workshop with actionable tools to assess and improve your own projects.
  • Day 2 Workshops ‘From Principles to Practice — Building Research to Deliver Responsible AI’. Following the learnings of Day 1, two complementary workshops will empower you to move from principles to practice. The first workshop will allow you to engage deeply with a specific Responsible AI theme in a small group discussion format. The second workshop will focus on translating ideas into impact through written content. This collective process will form the bedrock for future writing collaborations, empowering you and your teams to continue engaging with Australia’s Responsible AI ecosystem.
  • Expand your network. These two days will be full of opportunities to engage in rich conversations with Australia’s Responsible AI ecosystem, including a panel discussion, breakout sessions, workshops, and two dedicated networking sessions, one of which is a joint networking event with DICTA participants.
