Waves of Change: Women and surfing in Australia

With the advent of generative AI, manipulation of information and data is taking a new turn. Deepfakes and AI generated and propagated misinformation and disinformation are proliferating online.

These trends are already undermining the reliability of news, disrupting elections, challenging democratic processes, and infringing rights globally. As automation rapidly expands the reach and scale of this phenomenon, policy and regulation are often held back by a lack of agreed principles and priorities.

Host

Hamish Macdonald: Australian broadcaster and journalist. He is co-host of Global Roaming on ABC Radio National and ‘The Project’ on Channel Ten.

Panelists

Monica Attard: Australian journalist and Director of the UTS Centre for Media Transition, best known for hosting ABC’s PM, The World Today, and Media Watch.

Creina Chapman: Former Deputy Chair and CEO of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) charged with powers to combat online misinformation and disinformation. Creina has held senior executive and strategic adviser roles at Southern Cross Austereo, News Corp, Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, and the Nine Network.

Michael Davis: UTS research expert on information integrity, generative AI, and the news based in the UTS Centre for Media Transition.

Cullen Jennings: Chief Technology Officer of American multinational digital communications giant, Cisco Systems

 Sophie Farthing: Head of Policy Lab at the Human Technology Institute, UTS.

Information integrity, AI and the law: Global Gamechangers 3 of 3

How can carbon be remade into stuff that we want and use every day?

Imagine a world where all the products we want and interact with become 'carbon sinks' and reduce atmospheric carbon emissions. 

in this world, when you buy a product, you'd decarbonise the atmosphere, make sure that the carbon stays out of the atmosphere and is repurposed in innovative ways. 

Production and consumption would be sustainable and have a positive impact.

How can carbon help us fight climate change?

Host
