Utopian visions of automated decision-making (ADM) promise new levels of personalisation, control and choice in our lives. Yet, we still know very little about how ADM is being incorporated, reinvented or resisted as part of everyday lives. Our guest speakers are researchers and industry partners from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S) a cross-disciplinary, national research centre, which aims to create the knowledge and strategies needed for responsible, ethical, and inclusive automated decision-making.

New research reveals gambling and alcohol companies target those most at risk

Research funded by VicHealth and the Foundation for Alcohol Research & Education, supported by ADM+S, has found that alcohol and gambling companies use Facebook data to profile and target people most at risk with their product advertising.

In this episode, hear from Dr Giselle Newton, ADM+S Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, and Dr Aimee Brownbill, Industry partner from the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) as we discuss key findings, concerns, and next steps in this critical discussion around data privacy and the need for regulatory reform.
