CIRES Centre Director Professor Shazia Sadiq attended the Australian Parliamentary Inquiry into the use of generative AI in Australian schools, with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering CEO Kylie Walker. They discussed the crucial integration of AI into the Australian education system, emphasising the need for equitable access to hardware, software and skills across the education system.
