Troubled by the turn to algorithms in #NDIS decision-making, I teamed up with @carouselmedia to tell the stories of those most impacted. The first community screening of ā€˜I Am Not A Number’ is tomorrow in Melbourne/Naarm. Everyone welcome! @AdmsCentre.

Excited to be here in the UK for #SPAconf2024 having just published this piece w @LinaDencik, Joanna Redden & Jess Brand about Labour's reliance on AI to address poverty. Labour is promising change, but tech fixes only offer more of the same @AdmsCentre @DataJusticeLab.

Growing reliance on #AI and automated systems has increased #Poverty, #Inequity, #Discrimination and #Marginalisation. @gvantoorn shows us how, and warns #Labour not to fall under the spell of AI hype and watch out for its risks and unaccountability.

Excited to have finally published this open access piece with Prof Carney on #NDIS #algorithms. Of course, the issues go beyond algorithms, reflecting NDIS design flaws & areas of lawlessness aka "algorithmic grey holes" @AdmsCentre @AusSocialIssues

This paper analyses #JSCNDIS submissions & testimony to the parliamentary inquiry into #NDIS Independent Assessments, featuring disability activists, orgs and other critical voices, but also addresses the continued influence of algorithms in NDIS planning & decision-making.

Similar to #Robodebt, there is much that remains hidden about automated systems that have caused harm.
