[Commlist] Key Questions for AI in Public Institutions - report

** Key Questions for AI in Public Institutions **

Artificial Intelligence (AI)/GenAI is being rapidly adopted across 
public institutions and government departments, including in public 
universities and social services in Australia. The speed and scale of AI 
rollout has prompted concerns about environmental impacts and 
intellectual property, corporate influence, amplifying discrimination 
and more. 

In this think piece we sketch the impacts and implications of corporate 
AI for institutions with a public interest orientation. The report 
adopts a Data Justice lens to focus attention on the societal impacts 
and social justice implications of data-driven systems, including AI. 
This approach expands the frame beyond individual privacy, 
copyright, efficiency and convenience, to centre social justice and 
public interest concerns. Through a series of prompts, we aim to provoke 
conversations, advocacy and policy engagement by providing resources for 
further thinking and action.  

/Conversation prompts – we need to talk about:/
1. Business models
2. Climate impacts
3. Bias and discrimination
4. Surveillance, control and coercion
5. Consent and refusal
6. Expertise and voice
7. Participation and co-option
8. Alternatives

The report is published by the UNSW Media Futures Hub and the ARC Centre 
of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society
