Speaker: Dr. Wayne Applebee Date\Time: Thursday 13 Mar 2025, 12:30-13:30Location: Building 1 Level A Room 1A21, University of Canberra (NB Room 1a21 is accessed from the foyer joining Building 1 and Mizzuna café); or Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/95029077504 AbstractBorn and raised on Ngunnawal Country, I am Kamilaroi, part of the Aboriginal diaspora. I posit the question: Who am I on Ngunnawal Country? What is my identity?As a child, I visited Cumbo Gunnerah’s (the Red Chief’s) Country—the ancestors’ Country. My grandfather rests there, but two attempts to find him have failed.Diagnosed with cancer at 75, I took a journey back to see my traditional Country again, perhaps for the last time. The journey was with learned men steeped in Barkindji and Kamilaroi knowledge.This paper concerns this trip, my Dreaming stories, and also my personal past, including still vivid memories of a Canberra of the 50s and 60s—a time that led to my younger brother and me being institutionalized. A photographic montage helps relate those stories of the past to the present as I journey back to Mt Kaputar, the sacred site of my ancestors.All are welcome! BioDr. Wayne Applebee is Kamilaroi man, Indigenous cultural specialist, and former member of the Galbany Circle Court. Wayne has lectured in the faculties of Arts and Design, Health, Law and Science and Technology at the University of Canberra and is Adjunct Associate Professor with the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research. The Culture and Creativity Seminar Series is hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Research (CCCR), Faculty of Arts and Design, University of Canberra.

You are invited to a public seminar on "How to prevent an AI and Robot apocalypse": Designing and deploying AI, Robots and other other autonomous systems responsibly safely, securely and ethically at the University of Canberra delivered by the Visiting Distinguished Professor Philip Morgan.Abstract:Over the past 15-20 years, we have seen rapid technological developments in AI, robotic and autonomous systems such that they are fast becoming ubiquitous within many workplace domains (e.g. healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, transport) and are becoming ever present within domestic and social contexts. Self-driving cars, industrial and domestic robots, augmentation of reality, and smart AI agents are no longer something of fiction. Such technologies can, for example: increase productivity; complete repetitive tasks; streamline operations; reduce errors, incidents and accidents typically caused by humans; and in a growing number of cases – support decision making. However, they are not flawless, yet are being developed and deployed at a rapid pace. Lisanne Bainbridge (1983) warned of the ‘ironies of automation’; Raja Parasuraman and Victor Riley (1997) the ‘misuse, disuse, and abuse of automation; John Lee and Katrina See (2004) ‘designing automation for appropriate reliance’; and Alexandra Kaplan and colleagues (2023) ‘factors that have no bearing on AI performance impacting trust in AI’. Are we then risking an AI and robot apocalypse? A judgement day? Quite possibly! Unless such technologies are designed, developed, and tested responsibly, safely, securely, and ethically by humans and crucially with end-users. I will present example research findings, recommendations, notes of caution and many tales of hope from projects spanning a 20+ year career (to date) in Human Factors Psychology and Cognitive Science - across application domains including aerospace, defence, emergency services, environmental intelligence, healthcare, and transportation. Furthermore, almost all these technologies are at risk of being cyber attacked, due to us – humans – often being the weakest link. I will discuss how we can better understand and measure our cyber vulnerabilities in order to fight back and achieve a state of seamless security and privacy in symbiosis with the AI, robotic and autonomous systems in which we increasingly share the world with.Agenda:5:30 pm - Canapé and Networking5:45 pm - Acknowledgement of Country6:00 pm - Guest talk by Prof Philip Morgan6:45 pm - Panel Discussion moderated by Prof Chris Wallace (https://researchprofiles.canbe...)7:15 pm - Q&A session7:30 pm - Conclusion

While at university, we may be a bystander in a range of situations that aren’t okay. Perhaps we hear someone make a discriminatory joke about sex, gender, or race. We might see someone being harassed, or a person may tell us that they have experienced assault. We may be concerned about someone’s health, or observe that a friend is using alcohol in a harmful way. Most of us want to take action, but don’t know what to do or say to make a meaningful difference.UC Medical and Counselling Centre is presenting a FREE 2-hour workshop on bystander intervention for university students. This training helps to identify safe and effective strategies in common bystander situations, including discrimination, bullying, sexual assault, harassment, intimate partner violence, mental health issues, and the harmful use of drugs and alcohol.The workshop explores how challenging situations affect our perception and decision-making, and offers techniques for taking clear action under pressure.
