So thrilled for Minister Ed Husic to launch the Human Technology Institute!

Tech doesn't fall from the sky. It's shaped by humans, then it shapes us. Human Technology Institute reason for being is to promote the best human values in the design, use & regulation of tech. We're off & running! 1/3

My out of office is on, my desk is cleared and I've said my goodbyes to @ANUcybernetics colleagues, who I'm going to miss immensely. Now it's on to this next chapter - but first, a break. See you in a week!

Ellen Broad (@ANUcybernetics ourANU) provides good analogy to rise of electricity, which brought specialisation, regulation, & new discoveries. Same with AI, complex and diffuse while we work towards simplicity, certainty, and interoperability. /6

The word artificial intelligence or the term machine learning…have become stand ins for so many different varieties of methhods, tools and techniques…that it’s impossible to have conversations about what it is that actually concerns you.' Ellen Broad ANU Media #innovationpapers

'Language matters. Gathering together a host of different technologies, made for different purposes and contexts, under one term prevents us from being able to articulate our specific concerns and take action on the pieces that matter most right now.' -- Ellen Broad InnovationAus

Launching @ANUcybernetics and Menzies Foundation report ... Wooohooo #newCybernetics

This is such an amazing blog, thank you Mike Rose for writing up your experiences (and the great ways you used #Datopolis to facilitate different conversations).

To increase diversity @ANUcybernetics has created new scholarships for its 2023 Master of Applied Cybernetics, including one targeting Indigenous candidates. They're named in honour of #FlorenceVioletMcKenzie , Australia's first female electrical engineer bit.ly/3BArzJJ
