Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Futures Institute
Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Futures Institute
This research program propels the advancement of responsible AI in Australia as well as globally, underscoring inclusivity for all communities, notably those in regional and rural areas.
Our research program drives the responsible development of AI in Australia and beyond, emphasising inclusivity for all, especially in regional and rural areas. We extend our focus beyond AI to encompass related emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Metaverse, Quantum Computing, Extended Reality (VR/XR), and IoT. Understanding that these technologies share similar legal, regulatory, ethical, and governance considerations, our approach encompasses a broad spectrum.
With a core emphasis on regional futures and a global outlook, we leverage insights from Charles Sturt University and the AICF to address the specific considerations of deploying AI in regional, rural, and marginalised communities. By fostering global collaboration and cross-pollination of best practices, we aim to ensure responsible AI development aligns with regional futures worldwide.
The Responsible AI program looks to promote the responsible deployment of AI and emerging data driven technology applications through examining their ethical, legal, regulatory and governance considerations. This will be achieved through four, inter-connected work streams:
Identifying ‘best practice’ in Responsible AI and championing the ‘AI for Good’ agenda.
Partnering with initiatives that support Responsible AI
Research exploring the governance of and governance by AI nexus
Monitoring and providing commentary on international, national, and regional legal and regulatory governance initiatives related to AI.
Monitoring developments and providing commentary on implications of the EU AI Act.
Highlighting key regulatory announcements and initiatives across the world in real time.
Develop opensource tools to support and enhance responsible AI.
Tools for industry on how to make your tech responsible by design.
Focus on Regulatory Technology (Regtech), Supervisory Technology (Suptech), Legal Programming and Smart Legal Contracts applications.
Justice, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI)
Primary focus will be on First Nations Communities in Australia and beyond
Understanding this from both theoretical and practical lenses.
