SUMMARY:The Australian Internet Observatory. Introducing a new AIO platform tool for data donation research
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Australian Internet Observatory (AIO) introduces a new platform tool for data donation research that enables researchers to investigate questions that surveys\, interviews and publicly available data alone cannot answer — from recommendation systems and advertising to digital culture\, health\, education and public debate.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Australian Internet Observatory (AIO) Platform gives researchers at Australian universities a practical\, ethics-first way to study how digital platforms shape everyday life. Designed especially for humanities and social sciences researchers\, including those without advanced technical skills\, the platform provides shared national infrastructure for creating and managing data donation projects involving services such as TikTok\, Instagram\, ChatGPT\, Netflix\, Facebook and Spotify. \nBy enabling participants to securely donate selected data from their personal platform archives with informed consent\, researchers can investigate questions that surveys\, interviews and publicly available data alone cannot answer — from recommendation systems and advertising to digital culture\, health\, education and public debate. The platform reduces the need for research teams to build complex technical systems from scratch\, while keeping privacy\, consent and institutional ethics requirements at the centre of the research process. \nThis event includes a 20 minute presentation followed by 40 mins for Q&A.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1787105658845{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-md-offset-0″][vc_column_text css=””]This lecture explores how privacy law has addressed the datafication of user information and considers the lessons this may hold for copyright law\, which has struggled to grapple with the datafication of creativity.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”custom” custom_background=”#FFD600″ custom_text=”#000000″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Fcreativity-as-data-tickets-1991161485604%3Faff%3Doddtdtcreator”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Speaker” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” el_class=”boldText”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1787105650762{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-md-offset-0″][vc_column_text css=””]Xiyin Tang is a Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. Tang’s research focuses on the roles that technological evolution and new modes of dissemination play in the law of intellectual property. Her current research addresses how IP laws should respond to artificial intelligence and its effect on creative labor markets. Past writings have addressed the use of both public and private mechanisms—in the form of class action litigation and confidential contracts\, respectively—as responses to mass digitization and\, with it\, potentially\, mass infringement. Her publications have appeared in the Columbia Law Review\, Michigan Law Review\, NYU Law Review\, and Yale Law Journal\, among others. She is also a co-author of sections of the leading copyright law treatise Nimmer on Copyright. \nTang received her B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing summa cum laude from Columbia University. She received her J.D. from Yale Law School\, where she received the Neale M. Albert Prize for Best Paper on Art Law and twice received the Nathan Burkan Memorial Prize for Best Paper on Copyright Law. During law school\, Tang served as Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Journal of Law and Technology.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Image credit: Daniela Zampieri / Better images of AI[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1776305698312{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”ABOUT THE SPEAKERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”974″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text css=””]Daniel Angus\nProf. Daniel Angus is Professor of Digital Communication in the School of Communication\, and Director of QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre.

SUMMARY:2026 ADM+S Symposium - Automated Human + Planetary Health
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Automated technologies can contribute to or undermine human and planetary health. The 2026 ADM+S Symposium focuses on current research from across the Centre that seeks to better understand the complex interconnections between automated systems and the health of people and the ecosystems of which we are part.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\nIn Australia\, our burgeoning digital health sector is using automated decision-making (ADM) and AI to improve access to healthcare\, enhanced treatment protocols\, better diagnosis\, monitoring and prediction models\, and more personally tailored care. However\, many consumer and industry organisations\, including some of our partner organisations\, have identified potential risks posed by ADM to trust\, equitable access\, safety\, privacy\, transparency and social justice in healthcare and public health. \nADM and AI technologies are also used to maintain and monitor aspects of the environment\, including the health of animals\, plants and the quality of air\, water and soil. Here again\, there are manifold potential benefits and risks of these applications\, including issues related to ecological and multi-species justice and detrimental impacts such as increased e-waste\, carbon emissions\, water consumption and air pollution related to digital infrastructures. \nThis symposium provides a timely forum for considering the applications\, use cases and social\, political\, ethical\, legal and environmental consequences of these technologies in the context of automated human and planetary health. \nEvent Details \nThe symposium will be held at the Caufield campus of Monash University\, Victoria between Tuesday 27 and Thursday 29 October 2026. It will be organised and conducted in accordance with relevant ADM+S policies\, including: the Code of Conduct; Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion Strategy; and the Accessible Meetings and Events Policy. Online participation will be enabled for remote presenters and attendees. There will be no registration fee for presenters or attendees.\nMore information here: https://www.admscentre.org.au/adms-policies/ \n\n\n\nRegistrations are now open. Register before 19 October 2026 to secure your place. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#00BF63″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4wS2934|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\nOrganising Team \n\n\n\n\nProfessor Deborah Lupton (UNSW)\nProfessor Anthony McCosker (Swinburne University of Technology)\nProfessor Nicholas Carah (University of Queensland)\nProfessor Kath Albury (Swinburne University of Technology)\nDr Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris (UNSW)\nDr Giselle Newton (University of Queensland)\nChief Operating Officer Nicholas Walsh (RMIT)\nNode Administrator Til Knowles (Monash University)\nOutreach and Partnerships Officer Matt Warren (RMIT)\n\nFor the most recent Symposium information\, including program updates\, visit the ADM+S 2026 Symposium website. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Symposium Website” style=”custom” custom_background=”#00BF63″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fadms-symposium.com%2F|target:_blank”][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nContact Information \nAny questions please contact admsevents@rmit.edu.au \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1776305698312{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”ABOUT THE SPEAKERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”974″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text css=””]Daniel Angus\nProf. Daniel Angus is Professor of Digital Communication in the School of Communication\, and Director of QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre.
