Big Change? The place of place

10.30am - 11.20am | Saturday 14 July

What does it take to make ‘big change’ happen? TACSI have been giving ‘big change’ a red hot go in Australia –  to reduce unemployment, to give kids a great start, to reduce recidivism,  to address Aboriginal over representation in the justice system, to build economic futures for towns and to rethink how we live as we age.

In our own image: artificial intelligence and the humans who shape it

10.30am - 11.20am | Saturday 14 July

AI systems play an increasing role in our lives: deciding what jobs we do, our insurance options, our interactions with government services. What do we pass on to the AI we create? What biases and beliefs influence the way AI systems 'think'? How do we build ethical, responsible AI?

Solo event,

10.30am - 11.20am | Saturday 14 July

Join Naptivist Thea O’Connor as we delve into the science of napping, explore the social proof and consider 'next steps' for making the power nap the new coffee break.
