Ethical AI, Virtual Reality, Social Robots and Data (Virtual)

Description

"AI systems should enable an equitable and democratic society by respecting, protecting and promoting human rights, enabling diversity, respecting human freedom and the autonomy of individuals, and protecting the environment.” – Australia’s AI Ethics Principles

Ethical technology guidelines and frameworks abound. Yet, translating ethical principles into innovative local practice is a growing challenge. How do we ensure that technological systems, including AI, support Indigenous data sovereignty, diversity, human rights, and autonomy in more than name alone?

The Ethical AI, Virtual Reality, Social Robots & Data symposium will respond to this question, addressing some of the key opportunities and ethical challenges of emerging AI, Virtual Reality, Social Robotics and Data systems.

Join senior La Trobe University researchers and international guest researcher Dr Karin Christiansen as we explore the ethical and practical dimensions of emerging technologies and data practices, and launch the Language and Ethical Technology Lab (LETL) research network.

Outline of the program

Speaker topics will include:

• Language and Ethical Technology

• Indigenous AI and Data Sovereignty

• Health Data, Personalised Medicine and AI

• Virtual Reality, Connection and Care

• Technology and Education: Robotics, VR and AI

• AI in Nursing Education

• Data Visibility for Care Visibility

A detailed agenda with abstracts will be shared with registered participants closer to the event. In-person participants can join us by registering for the In-Person event.

Participants are also invited to register for the afternoon mini-symposium on Ethical AI, Creativity and Language (In-Person only). Please be aware that this event is separately ticketed and in-person only.

We look forward to seeing you online for a morning of thought-provoking talks and conversations.
