I am the Michael J Crouch Chair for Innovation at Õ¬Äи£Àû, where I collaborate to grow entrepreneurship and accelerate innovative thinking in Australia. Micheal Crouch was an inspiring Australian entrepreneur and business leader. He was a visionary and extraordinarily generous benefactor. In 2017, Michael Crouch was appointed Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for eminent service to the community through philanthropic contributions to youth, cultural, medical research and healthcare organisations, to businesses in the areas of manufacturing and international trade, and as a supporter of innovation and higher education.

I am also the Founder of the and Deputy Director of the . My research area is decision making and I focus on the strategic management of human-AI agent collaboration, dynamic capabilities, AI innovation, design,Ìýknowledge representation and reasoning, innovation management, innovation strategy, business model innovation and venture.ÌýMary-Anne’s primary research interest is decision-making. I design courses and teach corporate innovation at the AGSM (Australian Graduate School of Management).

I am a Fellow atÌý(the international peak body for AI), the and the (ATSE), I chair the Digital Futures Forum at ATSE alongside incredibly inspiring leaders like David Thodey, Kelly Bayer Rosmarin, Shazia Sadiq and others.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to receive several awards, including the Australasian Best Dissertation Award, the Australasian AI Distinguished Research Contribution Award, and prestigious Faculty Awards from industry leaders like IBM and Google. I have also had the opportunity to lead my research teams to success in international competitions, including winning scientific challenges and the Social Robotics World Championship.

Beyond academia, I guide and invest in startups globally and currently serve on advisory boards for through 15x Ventures and Cipherstash, an amazing startup pioneering encryption in use. I am a Board Member of the Australian SKA Regional Centre, on the Advisory Board for the Defence Trailblazer, and on the Innovation Reference Group for (SWSLHD).

I have led 12 research teams to international competitions, world championships and numerous innovation projects using human-AI interaction and AI agents. Our industry and government partners included Roche, EY, IBM, Google, Disrupt, Linkedin,ÌýÌý(previously Willow Garage), Amazon, Visual Risk, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Denmark's National Bank, Samsung, Sony, and Softbank.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can enhance, improve and scale human expertise is dramatically changing and impacting our social and working lives, influencing how we perceive and interact with the physical and digital world.Ìý

Society is rapidly moving into the AI-Age where individuals, citizens, societal groups, businesses, governments and the global economy increasingly rely on the perceptions, decisions and actions of AI.Ìý

Human-AI collaboration is the study of how humans and AI work together to accomplish tasks and shared goals.Ìý

My research focuses on addressing the significant barriers and risks that prevent AI from delivering the extraordinary benefits it has the potential to generate. Today, AI can outperform humans in making predictions, but it cannot explain its predictions to humans. People are often unable to find the insights fro blackbox AI technologies to fully realise the benefit of AI. Without insights and understanding, humans cannot demonstrate the extent to which AI algorithms are safe, fair and responsible. This is an urgent problem that needs to be solve. We need robust AIÌýsolutions to unlock the benefits for business, society and humanity.

A related research focus isÌýexplainable AI. Today, however, AI is not transparent or accountable, unable to explain perceptions, decisions and actions. AI that cannot explain its behaviour and decisions is a significant problem for business, government and society.Ìý

People need explanations to develop trust and confidence in AI, execute AI recommendations, and accept AI actions and outcomes. Furthermore, regulators insist that business, industry and government demonstrate that their AI algorithms comply with the law. How will AI systems avoid discrimination against specific groups, and comply with anti-discrimination law?

My current focus is on developing new approaches to eXplainable AI (XAI) as a means of making AI more transparent, accountable, and trustworthy.ÌýArtificial Intelligence (AI) continues to have a profound impact on all aspects of business, government and civil society. To help bring more clarity and to explore potential solutions to the rapidly growing urgent issues, we launched theÌýÌýin 2018.

You can find one of my papers at theÌýÌýthat outlines how Australia can lead in the new AI-driven world. It is provides a summary of a presentation to the four esteemed national academies at NSW Government House in Australia in November 2018.Ìý
