On the 4 of December 2024 ADM+S brought together guest speakers from industry partner organisation, ABC and Google, for a panel titled, ‘What is a Public Service Algorithm and Why Might We Need One?’ 

Providing an alternative to commercial forms of content curation is one of the challenges faced by public service media in the digital era. The conversation explores how automated recommendation systems might support the mission of public service media in Australia.

This conversation features Angela Ross, Research Lead at ABC News Strategy and Innovation, Laura Gartry, Innovation Lead at ABC Digital and National News, Stuart Watt, Head of News Strategy and Innovation at ABC, Saarim Saghir, Strategy Manager at Google USA, and ADM+S Associate Investigator James Meese.
