SEASON 3 EPISODE 2
AI Fluency and Ethics: Setting the Foundation for a Data-Enabled Government
Hosted by Rhetta Chappell
Conversation with Nathan Bines
What are the current levels of data and AI fluency across the public sector and what does good AI alignment look like?
In this episode, we are honoured to host the head of Queensland Government's Data and Artificial Intelligence Unit, Nathan Bines. Our guest oversees the state's budget allocation for data and AI initiatives, leading policy and legislative reviews focused on the safe and ethical application of AI technologies. Nathan's team plays a key role in shaping the Queensland's digital economy strategy and have been instrumental in developing generative AI tools for government employees. Join us as we discuss the integration of data and AI in government operations as well as the importance of data literacy for all employees. This insightful conversation also covers overcoming AI skepticism through experience and exposure, the ethical challenges of AI alignment, and the impact of developers' biases on AI tools. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how data and AI are reshaping government operations and the importance of informed, ethical leadership in navigating this digital evolution.
