Combatting the Code

What happens when governments hand decision-making over to algorithms? 

From welfare compliance and predictive policing to visa processing and risk assessment, automated systems are reshaping how governments interact with citizens.

Join Associate Professor Yee-Fui Ng for the 2026 Sandy Duncanson Social Justice Lecture, exploring how AI-driven systems are transforming public decision-making and what’s at stake when they fail.

Moderated by Graham Jefferson, Senior Executive Leader for Data, Analytics and AI and Chief AI Officer, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
