About this event
Join our ACS Think Tank event for an all-new Q&A/townhall style format and open debate with other ACS professional members both live in-room and virtually across the nation.
Our first ACS Think Tank looks at some of the key issues for one of our biggest challenges. The ICT industry has firmly latched onto information as the possession of choice. We’re constantly trying to find a balance – where information can be more readily accessed, but without the harm and injustice that sharing data can bring.
Information is power, information challenges privacy, and information is protected… if not by passwords, then by a variety of different and novel ways to authenticate and provide enough belief that someone is who they say they are.
The use of information challenges each and every one of us because it can be used for good, but also for evil.
During the session we will attempt to explore and address your questions and concerns around information and technology’s involvement in maximising its utility and protection, look at issues of human rights, legislation and regulation, and what we as ACS members should be doing about privacy issues.
Attendees are invited to pre-submit their questions on this topic or suggest future topics through the ACS Think Tank Question and Topic Submission Form with the top unique questions being asked directly to our panel and in-room/virtual attendees.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Lobby opens (virtually) at 4:50pm for a 5:00pm sharp start.
ACS Think Tanks are free for Professional and Full Fee Members only.
ACS Think Tank Question and Topic Submission Form
Speakers
Dorotea Baljevic has been in the IT industry for over 10 years building systems, capability and autonomous teams with data across Cisco, Westpac, Reserve Bank of Australia and Lendlease. Currently she is Principal Consultant and co-lead for the Cognitive and Analytics practice for ISG in Germany.
Dorotea has degrees in Information Technology, Master of Business in Technology Management and a Master of Data Science and Innovation. As part of her Data Science degree, she spent a year abroad studying Computational Neuroscience at Humboldt Universität in Berlin. During this time an avid interest in the organic processes of Decision Making was formed. She is exploring this further in her PhD at the University of Technology, Sydney with a focus on ethical decision making.
Dorotea embraces organic technologies using a humanistic approach – nature informing technical design and ultimately man working with machine. Data should consequently support and inform the narrative in all we do. Dorotea wants to ensure this story is trusted, relevant and enables the right outcomes.
