Listen "The algorithms that rule Australia"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Burning Platforms, a new fortnightly podcast that unpacks the latest developments in technology from around the world.
This fortnight we explore algorithms that rule Australia, how we are increasingly outsourcing policy and governance to algorithms. We will look at how facial recognition, robo-planning and robo-welfare are entering our policy environments. This and more in the always busy world of tech! Brought to you by the Centre for Responsible Technology.
Regular panellists:
Peter Lewis, Former Director of The Australia Institute’s Centre for Responsible Technology
Lizzie O' Shea, Chair of Digital Rights Watch, and
Dan Stinton, Managing Director of Guardian Australia
And special guests:
Ed Santow, Industry Professor Responsible Technology at UTS and former Human Rights Commissioner
Marie Johnson, CEO of the Centre for Digital Business
Burning Platforms is brought to you by the Centre of the Public Square - an initiative of Per Capita.
