On 15 March ADM+S Chief Investigator Dr Jake Goldenfein was invited by the Association for Australian Information Commissioner’s to speak at Victoria’s Parliament House about how software supply chains, outsourcing, and human oversight requirements affect transparency into automated decision-making systems.
The meeting was hosted by the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner (OVIC), and was attended by Information Commissioners, Privacy Commissioners, and both state and federal Information Access Commissioners from Australia and New Zealand.
Dr Goldenfein was invited to talk about AI in government decision-making – specifically how AI software supply chains frustrate information access and transparency rules.
“It is always a privilege to address regulators who really understand the policy environment and how public service organisations operate. I appreciate the opportunity to translate some of the more conceptual work we do into that context,” he said.
Dr Goldenfein is a law and technology scholar at Melbourne Law School. His research focus spans the regulation of surveillance, law in cyber-physical systems, the relationship between data science and legal theory, and platform governance.
