Who makes Artificial Intelligence, and how should it be made differently – if at all? All technology is the product of humans. But just who are the people behind technology? Whose interests shape how it's created? Which values and voices are prioritised, and which ones are excluded?

Ellen Broad on what makes a good online life (Rebroadcast).

Ellen Broad joins the Tech Seeking Human Podcast to talk about elements of her book "Made by Humans, the AI Condition", including the future of AI, the limitations of AI, bias, explainability, and electric vehicles that are not yet ready for Kangaroos. She is an advisor on the Australian Governments Data Advisory Council, hails from Perth, Western Australia, and despite nearly giving birth on the podcast, holds a conversation around AI with charm.

This week’s episode features a woman who never dreamt she’d end up working in a high tech environment. In fact, Ellen Broad imagined she would be a lawyer or librarian when she was younger. However this tech exec and academic is now a Senior Fellow at the 3A Institute at the Australian National University. The Institute is a multi-disciplinary department created to help humans prepare for, and navigate, a world that will be forever altered by AI-powered ‘cyber-physical systems’. A little bit more about Ellen, she trained as a lawyer (more about that in our conversation) and she’s worked in data-related roles in the Hague and in the UK, including being an expert adviser to the UK Secretary of State on Data, and head of Policy for the UK’s Open Data Institute. Not only that, but Ellen has also written an award winning book on AI and its impact on humans called ‘Made By Humans’. In this episode you’ll learn:How Ellen navigated moving countries, and finding work, without having any network in her new home-baseHow she's found her voice to speak up against gender biasWhat it's like working in a truly diverse team - hint it’s not always easy Why she’s using social media a lot less these days, andWhere she thinks technology will go in the next five years.Enjoy this episode with the unassuming and very smart Ellen Broad.

Ellen Broad is a boardgame designer. But that’s not actually why I’m talking to her. The boardgames was something of a byproduct – her main focus is being a rather brilliant thinker on all things data and AI.In her career, Broad has worked for governments and UN bodies to help plot the future of data, digital issues and AI ethics, and she has also worked for Australia’s digital transformation and innovation body, Data61.She has worked as the head of policy for the Open Data Institute and today she is a Senior Fellow at ANU’s 3Ai Institute. You can also buy her book – Made By Humans: The AI Condition.(This episode first ran on Uplink, but is now available here as Jetpacks takes priority in the Byteside podcast network.)

We are heading into a world where robots will be an increasingly important part of our lives. This won't just have an impact on the future of work, but on the future of everything. What will it mean if robots are our toys, our pets, our friends and our partners? If robots can be everything from carers to warriors, what does this mean not just for human lives, but for the way we understand human intelligence, human values, and humanity itself? If we want technology to create a better future for people all over the world, what do we need to do right now to make sure that we can steer these extraordinary developments in the right direction and avoid a dystopian future? Hear from a panel of experts including Toby Walsh, Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence at UNSW; Ellen Broad, Head of Policy at the Open Data Institute; and Hae Won Park, research scientist in the Personal Robots Group at MIT Media Lab. This is a Sydney Science Festival event, part of National Science Week, and co-presented with the Sydney Opera House.

We’re so excited to announce our first guest: Ellen Broad. Ellen is a renowned expert in the field of data ethics and AI. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, having worked around the world advising governments and corporates on data sharing, open data, strategy and licensing. Ellen’s writing has appeared in the New Scientist, the Guardian and a range of civil service and tech publications. She has spoken about AI and data to ABC Radio National's 'Big Ideas' and 'Future Tense' programmes, and at SXSW in the US Ellen’s recently published first book Made by Humans: The AI Condition, analyses our role and responsibilities in automation and how machine learning is affecting our decisions. Roaming from Australia to the UK and the US, data expert Ellen Broad talks to world leaders in AI about what we need to do next. During our conversation with Ellen, we explore themes such as why understanding AI is really about understanding human thought and behaviours, how to improve people’s recognition of AI and how it works, how to approach AI ethics as a business leader plus so much more:  How Ellen’s career journey into AI and data ethics and has unfolded  Literature that does a good job of examining ethics and has had a profound influence on Ellen The purpose behind Ellen’s book Made by Humans: The AI Condition  How the concept of automation bias and taking for granted the output of a machine affects us and the decisions that we make  How to improve people’s understanding of how machines work and what the points of failure might be  Why it’s important to be wary of quality assurance mechanisms in AI right now  Communicating ethics to a board of directors  The emerging risks of new job roles in ethics  The place of and need for external standards and systems of validation in AI and the need for markers of quality/standardised expectations Guiding principles for a business leader who is evaluating AI solutions (and what to avoid)    For full show notes and resources head to eliiza.com.au/episode-1.

In part 2 of our chat with Ellen Broad, we talks about privacy and changing attitudes to data about – and of – ourselves.  Ellen’s book, Made by Humans: The AI Condition is available from Melbourne University Press, or from all the big … Continue reading →

In this latest episode of Recordkeeping Roundcasts, we talk to Ellen Broad, author of Made by Humans: The AI Condition, about the way that rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning are being deployed in business, government and society, … Continue reading →

Anne Aly, Ellen Broad and Matthew Condon discuss with Jennifer Rayner our changing perceptions of privacy in the modern world of social media, data collection and information sharing.

Forget the humans versus machine dichotomy. Our relationship with technology is far more complicated than that. To understand AI, first we need to appreciate the role humans play in shaping it.

Why robotics needs to be as much about ethics, accountability and psychology as technology.

The ODI released its ‘Open data roadmap for the UK’ in December 2014, with steps the next UK Government can take to continue to make progress on open data. As the General Election draws closer, we’re starting to dig into the details behind the roadmap and open it up for public consultation. What would a Chief Data Officer for the UK look like? How can we use the National Information Infrastructure to plan for the future? Listen back on this engaging and fun session exploring the drivers behind the roadmap and some of its key priorities. Ellen Broad is Policy Lead at the Open Data Institute, where her role is to distill knowledge and expertise from across the ODI’s team and help to influence government policy, advise government and the private sector on how to capitalise on open data, and engage wider communities on issues affecting access to and reuse of data.
