This event aims to guide sector-wide approaches and future actions regarding responsible AI integration in research practices.

  *
The program features a keynote by Professor Melanie Johnston-Hollitt on the AI landscape and policy considerations.
  *
An expert panel addresses topics including governance, ethical considerations, and human-AI collaboration.
  *
The roundtable includes an interactive audience survey and launches a National AI in Research Survey to inform ongoing initiatives and policy development.

Dear ASA members,

The next Coding with AI workshop will be run next Thursday, 6th August, from 2-3 pm, located in AMDC801 (Swinburne) and on Zoom (link below).

This time around, we’ll tackle some more advanced topics, including:


  *   Writing and using skills as a superpower
  *   When and where to delegate work to agents, both within the harness and externally to other harnesses
  *   Keeping track of your agent minions and ensuring quality and accuracy

This workshop is aimed at more experienced AI coding enthusiasts, and those just starting out and looking to up their game.
