Automated Societies

This panel discussion took place at the 2023 ADMS+S Automated News and Media Symposium, 13-14 July 2023 at the University of Sydney.

Panelists discuss the nuances and specificities of online misogyny and its derived harms within a context of emerging online safety regulation in many countries around the world, and address the practical opportunities and limitations of automation to identify and moderate harmful content without silencing women and counterspeech. 

Speakers:

Dr Ariadna Matamoros-Fernández, Queensland University of Technology

Dr Aaron Snoswell, Queensland University of Technology

Lucinda Nelson, Queensland University of Technology

Joanna Williams, Swinburne University

Rita Jabri Markwell, Australian Muslim Advocacy Network

This panel discussion took place at the 2023 ADMS+S Automated News and Media Symposium, 13-14 July 2023 at the University of Sydney.

From claims that generative AI tools democratise creativity by making production ‘radically accessible’, critical implications for authorship, intellectual property, craft, and possibilities for opting out, to how the institutions of art are responding to these developments in the context of their own organisational logics, objectives and economic conditions, this panel considers the dynamics currently underpinning automation in art and asks where to next?

Speakers:

Dr Indigo Holcombe-James, ACMI

Dr Joel Stern, RMIT University

In this episode, Prof Deborah Lupton and Dr Vaughan Wozniak-O'Connor from the University of News South Wales discuss the process of their interdisciplinary collaboration in putting together the 'More-Than-Human Wellbeing' exhibition, as a research translation and community engagement initiative.

They discuss the process and thinking behind making the exhibition, barriers they encountered, and tips for other researchers wishing to engage broader audiences through arts-based methods.

The More-Than-Human Wellbeing' exhibition will be on show at the UNSW library until 18 August 2023.

This presentation by Ausma Bernot titled 'Queer Social Sorting - Control and resistance in China’s LGBTQ+ activism,' was held at the ADM+S Centre at RMIT University and livestreamed online on Tuesday 16 May 2023.

The dazzling promises of AI systems to augment humans in various tasks hinge on whether humans can appropriately rely on them. Recent research has shown that appropriate reliance is the key to achieving complementary team performance in AI-assisted decision making. Accurately estimating the trustworthiness of AI advice at the instance level is quite challenging, especially in the absence of performance feedback about the AI system. Moreover, the performance disparity of underlying machine learning models on out-of-distribution data makes the dataset-specific performance feedback unreliable in human-AI collaboration. Through a series of empirical studies operationalising real-world decision making contexts, we systematically explored the role of explanations, cognitive biases, critical mindsets, and users' affinity to technology in shaping their reliance on AI systems and the overall task outcomes.

In a talk held on 24 March 2023 at RMIT University, Assistant Professor Ujwal Gadiraju from Delft University of Technology shares novel insights into why *appropriate reliance* is a non-trivial objective.
