Jake Goldenfein, Associate Professor at Melbourne Law School, and Michael Richardson, Professor of Media and Culture at UNSW Sydney, were recently awarded Australian Research Council Future Fellowships! Congratulations, Jake and Michael.
Jake Goldenfein received over $1M in funding for his project on shaping regulation of the emerging AI data economy:
Through empirical and conceptual research, the project—Monetising Data – The Growth and Governance of AI Dataset Markets—expects to produce knowledge about the rules and commercial practices shaping the AI data economy and will propose new data governance principles for datasets. The benefit will be to enable regulation of AI training dataset markets in service of Australian creatives and data workers, and ensure a resilient and sovereign technology sector.
Michael Richardson received over $1M in funding for his project on how digital twins are changing military knowledge and decision-making:
The project aims to investigate how digital twins—dynamic computer models linking simulations with real-world systems—are transforming military knowledge by integrating and coordinating data collection, simulation, and prediction. Combining archival and empirical methods to create analytic frameworks and tools, the project will generate and translate new knowledge about their limits, risks, and possibilities on and off the battlefield. This should benefit Australia by ensuring that public scrutiny and democratic accountability keep pace with the rapid adoption of digital twins in defence.
