About Us
Charles Sturt University is a young and growing university committed to
developing far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish. We
make a significant contribution to the prosperity and vibrancy of our rural
and regional communities, with a reach and impact across Australia and
internationally. We work together with industry, communities and students to
create new thinking, inspire each other and make a positive and progressive
contribution to the world.
Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Futures Institute (AICF) is a new research
Institute at Charles Sturt University aiming to become a world class research
centre of excellence in data science, artificial intelligence, and cyber
security, to pursue the agenda of regional discovery, showing how AI developed
‘off the beaten track' and ‘in the wild' can better serve not only rural and
regional communities, but society as a whole, creating a new comparative
advantage for Australia internationally.
Our aim is to develop a centre of excellence in regional NSW. We'll do this
by:
building trustworthy data-driven systems and embedding transparent
reporting practices in all AI-related research
promoting inclusive interoperable AI design relevant not only to cities,
but also to rural areas
maintaining ethical integrity of AI-driven designs, which should not
exploit rural populations for the benefit of urban systems
encouraging respectful co-creation between regions and cities.
We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
