Digital Sisters AI for Good program and report launch event

On the 28th of August, Good Things Australia, in collaboration with Microsoft and Telstra, will be presenting the research and consultation findings as part of our pioneering digital inclusion project, ‘Digital Sisters: AI for Good.’

Good Things Australia, in collaboration with Microsoft and Telstra, will be presenting the research and consultation findings as part of our pioneering digital inclusion project, ‘Digital Sisters: AI for Good.’ This initiative focuses on enhancing AI literacy among women, particularly those from migrant and refugee backgrounds, to build their skills and confidence in using emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI).

To be able to deliver an AI literacy program with relevant learning resources, and support materials, we first needed to better understand AI, AI literacy and the intersection between AI literacy and digital inclusion. The Good Things team conducted research through surveys to our network of community partners and consultations involving over 56 organisations and individuals from various sectors, including government, academia, technology, social impact sectors. We also spoke to women who will be learning about AI literacy as participants in our Digital Sisters program. Bringing together representatives from these varying stakeholders, our insights were further refined during a cross-sector roundtable held in early May.

On August 28th, we will host an event to launch this report and host a panel of leaders discussing the benefits, risks, and opportunities of using AI and the intersection between AI literacy and digital inclusion.
