ADM+S researchers from QUT’s GenAI Lab have been awarded Best Presentation at the Next Generation Responsible AI Symposium, jointly hosted by CSIRO and the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) at the University of Adelaide.
Associate Investigator from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S), Dr Aaron Snoswell presented “Making AI Work Visible with the GenAI Arcade” showcasing the GenAI Arcade, an interactive platform designed to make the inner workings of generative AI visible, engaging, and accessible for diverse communities.
Developed by ADM+S researchers at the QUT GenAI Lab, the Arcade reflects the Lab’s mission to combine technical, humanities, and social science expertise to build tools that uplift public understanding of generative AI.
“We created this site to help people explore how generative AI works, what it can and can’t do, and why that matters,” said Dr Snoswell.
Held from 1–2 December 2025 in Adelaide, and coinciding with the release of Australia’s National AI Plan, the two-day symposium brought together Australia’s leading Early- and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) along with government and industry representatives to explore the future of responsible AI.
Through presentations, cross-disciplinary discussions, and hands-on workshops, participants focused on translating responsible AI principles into practice, providing a launchpad for ongoing collaboration, with opportunities for participants to contribute to a post-event writing initiative and strengthen Australia’s responsible AI community.
The award-winning presentation, “Making AI Work Visible with the GenAI Arcade,” is co-authored by William He, Distinguished Professor Jean Burgess and Dr Kevin Witzenberger.
Their work, the GenAI Arcade showcases creative, interactive methods for making generative AI processes more transparent and understandable for public audiences.
