Past Projects

Enhancing ClimRisk: using machine learning to better predict systemic social risks from climate change
Beyond the physical and economic consequences of our changing climate, researchers are developing new ways to account for systemic, cascading risks such as geo-political unrest.

Advancing a responsible space exploration strategy for Australia
We need an understanding of the key questions being asked by Australian space science experts, as well as new methods to collect and analyse knowledge in ways that are rigorous, robust and repeatable.

Mitigating ethical risks in the development of artificial intelligence tools for intensive care settings
AI-powered tools hold great potential, but clinicians must be able to trust the explanations that AI gives for its results.

Investigating the benefits and impacts of automating science
Investigating how researchers see the benefits and impacts of automating science with artificial intelligence (AI).

Understanding trust in collaborative human-AI teams: its importance, formation, and evolution
There is growing interest in how humans and artificial intelligence (AI) can work together in teams that maximise the strengths of each.
