It’s in the name, sure... But is AI really ‘intelligent’? Does it ‘think’? What do you know about how these tools were made, who owns them now, and who determines the way they work? How can you turn AI to best advantage in business and personal spheres? Now that AI’s on the tip of everyone’s tongues and offered as a service by almost every company you encounter, it’s time to examine your own relationship with the technology. Dr Sandra Peter wants to make technology work for people. Through her research at the intersection of business and cutting-edge technology at the University of Sydney Business School, Dr Peter explores where AI where it is at this moment, where came from, and invites you to think about how to harness AI in your own life – and where to consider placing limits. For more on the rise of AI, listen to Dr Sandra Peter in this forum held at the University of Sydney in 2023. +++ The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

The perimeter fence at Silverwater jail in Sydney's west AAPThere are more than 41,000 daily full-time prisoners in Australia, according to the latest ABS data. Many of them are in private prisons - almost 20% of the prison population according to a 2014 Productivity Commission report. But we don’t really know whether private prisons are more cost effective or produce better results. Private prison contracts are often “commercial in confidence”, and it’s hard to know what exactly we’ve paid for. All this means we have to rely on watchdogs to ensure taxpayers are getting value for money, and it’s tough for companies to really compete. Read more: Private prisons and the Productivity Commission: where is the value for money? Prison job programs are often touted as a way to reduce prisoner recidivism, but again there is little evidence showing a positive impact. Joanne Wodak was a research assistant on a study in the Northern Territory. Despite positive feedback from both prisoners and employers, Wodak says these programs don’t address other, important factors affecting recidivism such as alcoholism and homelessness. Technology could drastically change what a prison is and who is in them - through the use of algorithms that decide who gets bail, for instance. But as the University of Sydney’s Sandra Peter and Kai Riemer discuss, it’s unlikely to have an impact on the jobs prisoners themselves do. Low wages mean that prisoners provide an incredibly cheap source of labour, and the economics of this is unlikely to be drastically changed by technology.

Here’s a strange thought: just over a generation ago the typewriter was considered the height of technology, landline telephone use was on the rise and the encyclopaedia was our go-to for information. The internet has triggered new ways of interacting, working and consuming, and megatrends promise to profoundly change our day-to-day lives. Business and innovation expert, Sandra Peter discusses the six global megatrends that will have an enormous influence on the future of business, ultimately transforming how we work, live and play. What are they and how will they impact you?

Advertising through online influencers is shaping consumer law, business models and people's careers. Nico Aguilera/Flickr, CC BY-SAIt sounds like a get rich quick scheme. Amass huge numbers of followers on a social media platform like Instagram and you can get paid like a celebrity to mention or feature products in your posts. But this industry of “online influencers” was worth US$500 million in 2015, and is expected to grow to be worth US$5 billion by 2020, according to Sandra Peter from the University of Sydney. There’s a well documented business model behind it. Even though these online influencers might not be overtly endorsing a product, advertisers will still pay a lot to have something featured, even subtly, in their posts. The relationship online influencers form with their followers is different to a regular celebrity because they have more leeway to talk about their own experiences. When the influencer industry was at it’s peak, about five years ago, the content was more about using your body or life to sell something, says Crystal Abidin from Curtin University. But this is now changing. “Today it’s expanded so much that even in the influencer scene there are hierarchies,” she says. “Big name influencers may not spend as much time investing their own narratives in these products, but they may just do a shout out, that is so impactful that advertisers don’t mind.” This is indicative of a broader change to professionalism in the industry, where big internet companies like Amazon, Reddit and Youtube are starting influencer offshoots, says Abidin. With this growing industry consumers are starting to cotton on to the potential of being led astray. For example online influencers were mentioned in a lawsuit against a festival in the United States, where consumers felt their expectations (including those set by prominent online influencers) weren’t met. “What we saw with the Fyre Festival really does highlight the dangers of the influence that these people wield on social media and if it’s not absolutely made clear that they are promoting something…that has a material effect on consumers,” says David Glance from the University of Western Australia. While there are laws in Australia to protect consumers in Australia from misleading advertising, Glance says social media platforms need to make it clearer when someone is paid being to promote. He says this should go beyond a hashtag to something written on the post, pointing it out to consumers.

Cricket Australia has been unable to broker a new pay deal with the Australian Cricketer's Association. EPA/DAVID JONESRather than just admiring a good hit or delivery, there’s another way to analyse what’s happening on a cricket pitch. Cricket players are actually business people, in the sense that they’re weighing up how many resources they have, whether it’s wickets in hand or overs remaining, says Steven Stern, a professor of data science at Bond University. Stern is responsible for the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, which is used to calculate the score, and even who wins, when rain interrupts play. He crunches the numbers on games that have been played since the 1990s, and uses the resources remaining to decide what the score should be. It’s all about risk and reward, says Stern, and the cost benefit analysis carried out by teams and players. Technology is also changing the business of cricket. On the one hand it provides a useful tool for players to measure how well they are doing, but it can be a double edged sword, this same data can be used in performance indicators. Sandra Peter and Kai Riemer from the University of Sydney point to the example of the International Cricket Council which is using sensors on cricket bats. These can help to develop the skills of players in training but it can also be used to gather data on player performance, to decide what they get paid. Pay is the reason cricketers are currently in a stand-off with their governing body Cricket Australia. The cricketers argue that more needs to be spent at the lower levels of the sport. Judging by what has happened in other sports like rugby league, if money is not spent on the administration and supporting the lower levels, it starts to shows as cracks in the national level of the sport, says Stephen Frawley from UTS.
