Creators of Intelligence

By: Dr. Alex Antic

Overview of this book

A Gartner prediction in 2018 led to numerous articles stating that "85% of AI and machine learning projects fail to deliver.” Although it's unclear whether a mass extinction event occurred for AI implementations at the end of 2022, the question remains: how can I ensure that my project delivers value and doesn't become a statistic? The demand for data scientists has only grown since 2015, when they were dubbed the new “rock stars” of business. But how can you become a data science rock star? As a new senior data leader, how can you build and manage a productive team? And what is the path to becoming a chief data officer? Creators of Intelligence is a collection of in-depth, one-on-one interviews where Dr. Alex Antic, a recognized data science leader, explores the answers to these questions and more with some of the world's leading data science leaders and CDOs. Interviews with: Cortnie Abercrombie, Edward Santow, Kshira Saagar, Charles Martin, Petar Veličković, Kathleen Maley, Kirk Borne, Nikolaj Van Omme, Jason Tamara Widjaja, Jon Whittle, Althea Davis, Igor Halperin, Christina Stathopoulos, Angshuman Ghosh, Maria Milosavljevic, Dr. Meri Rosich, Dat Tran, and Stephane Doyen.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Creators of Intelligence

Edward Santow vs. Unethical AI

As Australia’s former Human Rights Commissioner, and a lawyer, Edward Santow is uniquely placed to provide advice on developing responsible and socially aware AI, and giving suggestions for tackling some of the challenges in creating practical ethical frameworks and policies.

Ed is an industry professor of responsible technology and the co-director of the Human Technology Institute at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where he plays a leading role in helping shape policy and governance that applies human values to new technology.

I was keen to hear Ed’s take on how we can continue to innovate with technology while ensuring fair and equitable outcomes for all citizens – including maintaining basic human rights.
