AI is being used to help improve teaching and learner engagement and assist with workload faced by teachers. Associate Professor Kelly Matthews and Associate Professor Hassan Khosravi from the Institute for Teaching and Learning Innovation discuss how AI is being used to assist teachers in the delivery of lessons and the many teaching challenges they face.

Currently there is a need to have multiple therapists assisting patients in rehabilitation, which is time intensive and places physical strain on the therapists. Professor Sandy Brauer from the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and Dr Alejandro Melendez-Calderon from the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering explain how AI can be used as a tool to help us deliver the highest quality of health care in close integration with human expertise.

With increased pressure and demand on the healthcare system, AI allows clinicians to outsource some of the routine thinking so they can focus on the difficult parts of clinician work such as empathy, understanding, listening and delivering the human touch.

Hear from scientific and industry leaders to learn more about the tools we already have that can make building machine learning systems easier and faster, as well as how we should invest and design better to make AI more accessible to the broader span of businesses and industry sectors.

UQ has incorporated AI in medical imaging to assist clinicians with analysing data, diagnosis, treatment and assessment of conditions. AI will change the way healthcare is delivered in this field.

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it” – Alan Kay. Prof Shazia Sadiq explains the how the UQ AI Collaboratory has brought together experts from various fields within UQ, to find innovative solutions towards a future where we can amplify human potential with AI.

On August 11th the UQ AI Collaboratory held a showcase event at Customs House featuring research in artificial intelligence at the University of Queensland. Over 80 attendees across industry, government and research sector attended the event.

The paper explores the role and need for explainable AI (XAI) in education. We argue that XAI in education has commonalities with the broader use of AI but also has distinctive needs. A framework based on six key aspects for studying and developing educational AI tools is proposed. The application of the proposed framework is illustrated with four comprehensive case studies. The paper concludes with an agenda for future research in XAI in education.

The University of Queensland has announced a partnership with Fourier Intelligence. This partnership will combine Fourier Intelligence’s exoskeleton technology EXOPS™ and UQ’s expertise in the fields of neuro-engineering, rehabilitation, medical robotics, and artificial intelligence, to deliver research on personalised robotic therapy for the restoration of walking function post-stroke.

As the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital workplace rapidly develops, The University of Queensland will soon offer a new short course led by internationally renowned expert Jeremy Howard.

The aim of this paper is to develop and present a manifesto for Information Resilience that can serve as a reference for future research and development in relevant areas of responsible data management.

Queensland is home to one of Australia’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems. Our people, companies and organisations are putting AI in action, creating solutions for some of the world’s grandest challenges.

Digital technologies are now at the heart of our everyday lives, as anyone who has swapped their office for a videoconferencing screen, or downloaded a contact-tracing app, knows only too well.

There has been a lot of debate on how artificial intelligence (AI) will shape our future. Will autonomous AI-enabled machines with sleek human form be a negative and unbridled force (Terminator style), or will the development of AI improve the wellbeing of our customers, businesses and community for the better?
