ALIA's public submission to Department of Industry, Science and Resources' consultation on the introduction of mandatory guardrails for AI in high-risk settings.
Following ALIA's submission on the importance of AI inclusion and AI literacy, two further reports have been released which were brought to the committee’s attention. From the library perspective, these reports highlight current trends, where AI is increasingly integrated into daily life, and yet there continue to be deep divides within the general population in awareness, understanding and skills.
Good Things Australia, in collaboration with Microsoft and Telstra, is proud to present the research, and consultation findings of our pioneering digital inclusion project, Digital Sisters: AI for Good. This initiative focuses on enhancing AI literacy among women, particularly those from migrant and refugee backgrounds, to build their skills and confidence in using emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The report was attached to ALIA's submission for the Select Committee on Adopting Artificial Intelligence
This report examines adult media literacy abilities, needs and experiences in Australia. Between January and April 2024 a representative sample of 3,852 adult Australians were surveyed alongside additional booster samples for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) Australians and First Nations Australians. This survey repeated questions asked in our inaugural 2021 Adult Media Literacy survey to produce longitudinal data, while also introducing new questions that respond to pressing issues and new digital media developments.
