How AI is changing our world – for the better

How many sci-fi movies paint post-apocalyptic dystopias where killer robots rule? But what if those robots could actually be ‘kindness robots’ – who fight for the good of humanity?

A powerful tool for social justice, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already being used to improve lives around the world. It’s helping to reduce homelessness, criminal activity, substance abuse, military suicides, infectious diseases, poaching and so much more.

This is a unique opportunity to hear from world-renowned AI experts as they discuss how AI is improving our society. Moderated by Professor Jon Whittle, this eye-opening panel discussion will explore how AI is helping to:

  • Fight terrorism and criminal activity
  • Prevent HIV among homeless youth
  • Reduce child exploitation on the dark web
  • Turn poachers into prey

This event will also give you the chance to network with industry partners, Monash alumni and leading researchers in the field.
