New research finds that AI doesn’t just discriminate against women in the workforce – but also has a problem with parents

Robodebt teaches us that even simple automated decision-making systems come with the biases of the people, systems and policies that conceive them

As artificial intelligence becomes an increasing part of our lives, what does the expansion of technology mean for the futures of women?

New research is combining data from satellites to help us better anticipate and adapt to climate change and extreme weather in Australia

A new data-driven tool uses satellites to accurately predict devastating natural disasters before they occur – locating potential land failures to protect at-risk communities

If an algorithm makes a decision about you that you think is unfair, a lack of process can make it difficult to challenge, appeal or even contest that decision

Conversational systems may play a key role in future mental healthcare and have the potential to help cut down global e-waste – but there are caveats

When algorithms make important decisions, we also need to involve humans who understand the context, explains AI and ethics researcher Jeannie Paterson

A prototype application, Biometric DnD, takes D&D character creation to the next level, using AI and your face. But it also highlights the dark side of biased algorithms

Wage theft is almost ‘normal’ in some industries, but hard to detect. Predictive algorithms can help regulators and give workers an edge
