About this event
What happens when your AI-powered compliance system fails — and the regulator is on the phone?
In a first of it’s kind, the ACS WA AISIG is pleased to present ‘The AI RegTech Simulation’ event, which puts attendees in the middle of a hypothetical fast-moving regulatory crisis. In teams, you’ll make critical decisions under pressure, balancing compliance obligations, customer trust, and organisational risk. This hands-on exercise offers a realistic and safe environment to explore ethical, legal, and operational challenges in AI-driven RegTech systems.
Key Takeaways
How It Works
You’ll join one of three teams, each tackling a different RegTech AI scenario.
The session includes:
Choose a role — or step into a new one — and see the crisis from a fresh perspective.
This is a collaborative learning exercise, not a competition.
Registrations open at 5:30pm for a 6:00 PM start

I am a data and information ethicist passionate about shaping future digital and data infrastructure. Building consensus through gaining and maintaining community trust and implementing good practice to advance socially-just data policies is embedded in my work. My award-winning work as an educator and as a researcher for the past twenty years engages with the ever-evolving relationship between people and emerging technologies. As inaugural Director of the Master of Data Science and Innovation program at UTS from 2014-2018, my research guided the development of a uniquely transdisciplinary and human-centred curriculum. My current work engages with data and AI ethics at both theoretical and practice levels and the connections between people and technologies in the knowledge discovery practices associated with data science. I am a Sydney Ambassador for Stanford's Women in Data Science Program and also actively contribute to international work on data sharing for resilience and healthy cities. I am an Australian Expert on ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 6 contributing to an international standard for data sharing.
