Dear Fellow Information Professionals

Hereby we present you with another issue of the IIM e-newsletter. One of the key topics that we added to your repertoire of explored themes is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it is not a coincidence.

AI was one of the hot topics explored at the launch of the Information Awareness Month (IAM) 2019 event titled "Many Voices, One Message", which was organised and hosted by several professional associations, including IIM. The summary of this event is now published in a brochure, available at: https://www.iim.org.au/uploads/4/9/6/7/49678653/2019_information_awareness_month_summary_booklet.pdf

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a discipline that uses the available information to simulate natural intelligence and solve complex problems, with the objective to find an optimal solution and increase the chance of success.

Your IIM plans to bring more content and events related to implementing modern ways of solving business problems.

IIM joined forces with DAMA Australia to organise a series of seminars titled "AI @ Work", which will expand on the success of IAM 2019 and further explore practical use and experiences related to implementing solutions based on AI. We work with DAMA Australia to make these events available via web to all our members across Australia.

I hope that you will enjoy articles in this newsletter curated by Linda Shave and I look forward to seeing you at one of our events in the near future.

Artificial Intelligence: Australia's Ethics Framework
Data61 is working to enhance the role of ethics within artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to increase productivity, create new industries and provide more inclusive services. For Australia to realise these benefits however, it will be important for citizens to have trust in the AI applications developed by businesses, governments and academia. One way to achieve this is to align the design and application of AI with ethical and inclusive values.

AI News - How Research of Rats Can Enable Autonomous Cars and Robots Navigate Better
Someday, as autonomous cars speed down our roadways and robots perform elaborate rescue operations too risky for humans to carry out, we may have rats to thank. Well, more specifically: rats, a box of Froot Loops, and a team of Boston University neuroscientists.
The study, partially funded by a $7.5 million multidisciplinary grant from the Department of Defense, offers valuable insights into the workings of the brain's navigational system -- knowledge that could be leveraged to create smarter autonomous vehicles that can find their way around obstacles as well as living organisms.
