Join our host Professor Renee Jeffery as she talks to Professor Dian Tjondronegoro, Deputy Head of Department, Department of Business Strategy and Innovation and Griffith Asia Institute about the Next AI Super Power and why it its important for Australia's future.
Dian's Griffith Asia Institute Regional Outlook article looks at how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a key battleground of supremacy between the US and China. Given AI's capability to rapidly analyse huge amounts of data for gaining insights and knowledge, there is increasing concerns over privacy and security of data collected from the use of technology, namely, smart phones and the "Internet of Things' (IoT) (aka everything connected). However, there is very little understanding of what could be the long term consequences from the emergence of AI, particularly from the perspective of Australia's global outlook and regional positioning within Asia Pacific. Anticipating and learning from the latest developments will enable Australians to better prepare for the future, in terms of navigating economic developments, political alliances, and the next business strategy.
The current pandemic and crises due to COVID-19 has raised so many questions and uncertainties that perhaps only AI and big data can help our quest to discover the way forward - a safer, more sustainable, and more resilient future. The question is whether the next AI super power will maintain an ethical and responsible use of data?
