About this event
The development of AI is creating new opportunities to improve the lives of people around the world, from business to healthcare to education. It is also raising new questions about the best way to build fairness, privacy, and security into these systems.
Australia's Ethics Framework attempted to set forth some guidelines late-last year but as far as the people and companies using and developing AI are concerned, they still need something actionable and measurable so that they can confidently design and implement AI solutions, ethically, and responsibly.

Panellist
Dr Niki Vincent
Commissioner for Equal Opportunity (South Australia)
I am an experienced organisational and community leader with a keen interest in a wide range of local, national and global issues – particularly those involving equal opportunity and human rights. I am a skilled communicator, educator, leadership developer, team-builder, networker and influencer – and I am frequently invited to speak at a diversity of public and private events and in the media.
I commenced my 5-year term as the Commissioner for Equal Opportunity in South Australia at the end of May 2016. Prior to this appointment, I served as Chief Executive Officer of the Leaders Institute of SA – the renowned leadership development organisation I established and grew over 13 years. I’m currently also the chairperson of the Australian Council of Human Rights Authorities and I serve on the advisory boards of the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA - SA &NT) and Play By The Rules. I’m an Ambassador for Time for Kids inc.
I hold an adjunct position as Associate Professor at the University of SA (in the Business School). I have also served as a member of the 3-person SA Remuneration Tribunal (which sets remuneration for the judiciary, Members of Parliament, statutory officers and elected local government officials in SA). I chaired the SA Government's Voices of Women Board for 3 years (until mid-2014). I have also served, with the Vice Chancellors of all SA Universities, on the Higher Education Council, and on the SA Premier's Round Table on Sustainability.
I hold a PhD in psychology from the University of Adelaide, for which I received a University Medal for Doctoral Research Excellence. I also received a University Medal for my undergraduate/Honours performance at the University of Adelaide. Throughout my career I have been honoured to receive some other prestigious awards. These include a Telstra Business Woman of the Year (SA Finalist) award and an Australian Leadership Award.
