Automated Societies

In this episode we discuss the technological, legal and societal challenges present in the indie porn industry, and how these struggles intersect with broader issues of stigma, capitalism and social justice.

This conversation is based on ‘Indie Porn’, a new book by Dr Zahra Stardust from Queensland University of Technology, published with Duke University Press

ADM+S In Conversation is a new podcast series, bringing our researchers to the spotlight to discuss how AI and ADM technologies are impacting our day-to-day, based on recent research by members at the Centre.

In this episode of ADM+S In Conversation, Natalie Campbell sits down with Dr Georgia van Toorn to talk about her recent paper, co-authored with Prof Terry Carney, titled 'Decoding the algorithmic operations of Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme’.

In recent years, Australia’s National Disability Insurance Agency's (NDIA) has embarked on a digital transformation of its social services, with the primary goal of creating user-centric services that are more attentive to the needs of citizens. 

However, Dr van Toorn explains how this digitised administrative process raises concerns about substantive fairness, accountability, and transparency, with systemic mistakes effectively beyond recourse to legal remedies, due to ‘black-box’ automated decision-making processes.
