From automated decision making to data centres reshaping our energy grid, artificial intelligence is already here - and the policy settings being written now will shape our country for decades.
Join Nicolette Boele MP and a panel of experts for Town Hall: Artificial Intelligence — an evening of frank conversation about what AI means for our community, our economy, and our future.
We'll explore what we've actually learned from Robodebt, whether Australia is sleepwalking into the same mistakes we made with gas exports, and what good governance of AI looks like in practice.
Arrive at the Turramurra Bowling Club at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
