Boldness and ambition
Minister Clare O'Neil MP at #TechPolicyFutures
“Australia has everything we need to be the most #cyber secure country in the world by 2030: the skills, the resources, and the big ideas. What I want is for us to embrace this with boldness and ambition”
🚀 A/Prof. Catherine Ball at #Techpolicyfutures :
If you want to regulate tech, you need to 'understand it, take part in it, have fun with it, own it, lose it, fail it, just get involved.'

'We are falling behind the rest of the world, Aust. only invests 1.8% of GDP in R&D, which is not enough.' 🌏 Zali Steggall MP at #techpolicy futures ‘we won’t meet the great challenges ahead – like on climate – unless we invest in R&D and tech’.

👉 David Coleman MP at #Techpolicyfutures says, it's important for policymakers and government to consider the economic and societal implications. Let's work towards maximising the potential of #AI while managing its risks.
At #TechPolicyFutures , Kate Pounder emphasised the tech sector's potential but underscored the need for collaborative risk management, 'we need to bring together our brightest minds from parliament, industry, and civil society to tackle our biggest problems & biggest opportunities.'
TechPolicyDesignCentre is a champion of greater diversity in Tech sector.
We echo @michrajah’s call at #Techpolicyfutures :
'I would really encourage women and girls to consider a career in tech. And particularly AI… we need to ensure we bring women and underrepresented communities on
Great to speak on the road ahead for AI at tonight’s #TechPolicyFutures event at Parliament House. My message: first do no harm, but Government cannot vacate this space and must consider future impacts. TechPolicyDesignCentre auDA

Tech must prioritise people, not profits. Australian Red Cross Humanitech explores equitable tech design & use.
'It's really important that we all work together to put people at the centre of technology, strengthen our laws, policies and practices'.
Thanks TechPolicyDesignCentre for last night’s #TechPolicyFutures event. We were proud sponsors of the evening, which gathered a diverse range of Australian digital and tech forces and generated crucial discussion on the challenges and future of digital policies and governance
