AI & Human Behaviour with Elisabeth Costa
About this Event
How is artificial intelligence changing human behaviour – and what does our behaviour mean for the future of AI?
Join the WA Data Science Innovation Hub for a thought-provoking lunchtime presentation from leading behavioural science expert Elisabeth Costa.
AI is increasingly influencing how we access information, make choices and interact with the world around us. To design and use these technologies effectively, we also need to understand the people using them.
Lis will explore the fascinating intersection between AI and human behaviour, sharing insights into how AI can influence our decisions and how behavioural science can help us achieve better outcomes from emerging technology.
The session will begin with a welcome from WADSIH Director Alex Jenkins, followed by a 40-minute presentation from Lis and an audience Q&A. Light refreshments and networking will follow the formal presentation.
Whether you work in technology, data science, policy, research, business or innovation – or you’re simply curious about how AI is changing the way we think and behave – this session will offer a fascinating new perspective.
Tickets are limited to just 45, so register early to secure your place.
