    How Can Democracy Survive AI? LIVE IN PERTH

    AI is transforming our world at rapid speed, raising urgent questions about who benefits, who loses, and how we keep control of the future.  Panellists from the Burning Platforms podcast and guests, explore the promises and pitfalls of AI - and what’s at stake for all Australians. Panellists include:  Lizzie O’Shea: Human Rights Lawyer & Chairperson, Digital Rights Watch  Peter Lewis: Executive Director, Essential Media & Fellow, Per Capita  Dan Stinton: CEO and Managing Director, Healthengine  Rikki Hendon: Secretary of Unions WA  Kate Chaney MP: Federal Member for Curtin While the boosters of AI are rushing to transform the world, citizens are being left in the slipstream, with little chance to influence how this new technology takes shape. AI systems are built by harvesting the ideas and creations of others, often without consent, and are already eroding jobs and reshaping culture on the promise of future productivity. As the Luddites taught us, the way we adopt technology will be critical to whether it improves people’s lives or cuts a swathe through jobs for the benefit of the few. Many Australians perceive more risk than upside in this new technology, so why is it being pushed so hard, with so few guardrails or controls in place? This event is hosted by Digital Rights Watch with support from The Minderoo Foundation.
