The Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics (CAIDE)
The Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics (CAIDE) facilitates cross-disciplinary research, teaching, and leadership on the ethical, regulatory, and legal issues relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies at the University of Melbourne. Our research seeks to explore the impact, deployment, and governance of this emerging technology across society. Our approach is to combine legal, ethical, and social perspectives with technological expertise to examine the issues of these emerging technologies in a holistic manner. We examine issues of fairness, privacy, accountability, and transparency in this emerging technology to further our understanding, but also to guide the development and appropriate policy settings for effective use across society.

Partnership Opportunities
Our goal is to learn from practitioners what are the real problems that they face when deploying data and AI, so that we ensure that our research is laser-focused on the problems that matter. We then want to maximise the impact of our research, by working with partners in government, industry and civil society. We aim to influence policy, to guide the ethical implementation of data and AI, and to help shape the next generation of democratically legitimate AI systems. If you can help us do that—and if we can help you—then get in touch.

Templeton World Charity Foundation
As humans, our skills define us. No skill is more human than the exercise of moral judgment. We are already using AI to automate morally-loaded decisions. In other domains of human activity, automating a task diminishes our skill at that task. Will ‘moral automation’ diminish our moral skill? If so, how can we mitigate that risk, and adapt AI to enable moral ‘ups killing’? Our project will use philosophy and social psychology to answer these questions.
