Australians are among the most anxious in the world about AI. This anxiety is driven by fears AI is used to spread misinformation and scam people, anxiety over job losses, and the fact AI companies are training their models on others’ expertise and creative works without compensation.

An analysis of online formula ads targeting parents in Australia reveals how companies prey on parents’ anxiety – and the problems with having a voluntary advertising agreement.

While Australia’s National AI Plan emphasises investment and relies on existing laws to manage AI risks, the lack of clear, coordinated regulation leaves significant gaps in accountability and safety, creating uncertainty about how effectively AI harms,particularly to vulnerable groups,will be addressed.

Earlier this year, Google launched the Preferred Sources feature in Australia and New Zealand. Through it, users can select organisations that are “preferred” and whose content they’d like to see more of in relevant search results.

Examining ten years of posts from Australian Associated press for an upcoming study, T.J Thomson explores how Instagram’s ongoing shifts—some obvious, others subtle—affect user experience, behaviour, and our broader understanding of the online social world, including the platform’s latest challenges with widespread AI content.

If you’re following AI on social media, even lightly, you will likely have come across OpenClaw. If not, you will have heard one of its previous names, Clawdbot or Moltbot.

Congratulations to the team of ADM+S Researchers from RMIT, who have won first place at the Massive Multi-Modal User-Centric Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MMU-RAG) Challenge

Research as part of the Mapping the Digital Gap project shows Starlink is creating a new kind of digital divide in remote First Nations communities. Not just between cities and the bush, but within communities themselves.

With release of the long-awaited Australian National AI Plan, ADM+S researchers look at who will really benefit from AI.

If you’re a young person in Australia, you probably know new social media rules are coming in December. Here’s a guide for the changes that are coming.

The ADM+S is delighted to announce the University of Bristol as a new Partner Organisation, and Professor Melissa Gregg as a Partner Investigator to the Centre.

As nearly half of all Australians say they have recently used artificial intelligence (AI) tools, knowing when and how they’re being used is becoming more important.

A new national survey by ADM+S and partners shows that while almost half of Australians have used generative AI, uptake is uneven across the country. This raises the risk of a new “AI divide” which threatens to deepen existing social and economic inequalities.

ADM+S researchers looked at 224 Government agencies and found only 29 had easily identifiable AI transparency statements. A deeper search found 101 links to statements.

How do computers see the world? It’s not quite the same way humans do. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) make it possible to do more things with computer image processing. You might ask an AI tool to describe an image, for example, or to create an image from a description you provide.

The “godfather of AI”, computer scientist and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton, has said there’s a 10–20% chance AI will lead to human extinction within the next three decades. An unsettling thought – but there’s no consensus if and how that might happen. So we asked five experts: does AI pose an existential risk?

As the way people make images changes, knowing how generative AI works will let you better understand and critically assess its outputs.
