Why is the government using AI to help create NDIS plans?
Manage episode 520454724 series 5473
Roblox has been one of the worst culprits for child safety in the games world, and they’ve come up with something to supposedly keep our kids safe. ‘Age-gating’ is designed to keep people of different ages in different parts of the online game, but how accurate is this age verification? And is it going to cause more problems than solutions?
Also, the government has been found using generative AI to develop plans for NDIS participants. Will rising costs and dwindling resources in disability support push workers into using standardised AI to support participants long-term, or are there better tools out there for this?
Plus, the Hugging Face CEO has said that the famously near-bursting AI bubble is actually, in fact, an LLM bubble. But what’s the difference, in a world where cities are being razed to build water-guzzling AI datacentres?
GUESTS:
- Alice Clarke, freelance tech journalist and editor of Press Any Button substack
- Gianfranco di Giovanni, journalist for ABC Arts and Content Director for ABC Perth
