As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly evolves, trustworthy AI has become a pillar of technological safety discussions. In her recent article, Dr Zena Assaad, Senior Research Fellow at the ANU School of Engineering, delves into the complexities of AI trustworthiness and how it requires social understanding and policy alignment. "AI systems are just like other machines: trust simply comes down to how reliably and safely they can be used for their intended purpose," explains Dr Assaad.

Congratulations to Professor Andrew Blakers DTSE FAA who has been announced as the recipient of the Clunies Ross Innovation Award 2024, by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering. As a Professor of Engineering at The Australian National University (ANU), Andrew has made transformational contributions to the renewable energy transition. He was instrumental in designing and creating silicon solar cells in the 1980s, and, alongside his colleagues, developed the PERC solar cells that are widely used today. Additionally, he has led the creation of a global atlas of potential off-river pumped hydro energy storage. Congratulations to Andrew on this great achievement.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to launch a rocket? 🚀 Our student-led team ANU Rocketry recently celebrated a sky-high achievement - launching their high-powered rocket 'Garawaηa'. Standing at 3 metres tall, Garawaηan ascended to an impressive altitude of 30,000 feet in the NSW Riverina. Like any great success, this launch involved unprecedented challenges, some quick thinking, and effective problem-solving. Hear from the team about their preparation, key learnings and what makes this remarkable feat possible.

A group of ANU students recently embarked on an immersive experience to Timor-Leste as part of the Engineers Without Borders Australia Humanitarian Design Summit. Over two weeks, they partnered with organisations like Abundant Water, lived in rural communities and worked on projects to make clean drinking water more accessible. "The crux of human-centred design is putting the people you are designing for at the heart of the solution," says Maxine Wu, one of the students who went on the trip. “This trip has honestly been quite life-changing in a lot of ways. I've always been very passionate about the development space and humanitarian engineering, and my hopes and dreams are to get involved in the field.” Read the full story here: https://dub.sh/j3Hs7tI #HumanitarianEngineering #Engineering #Tech #OurANU

Discover the future of learning with Cybernetics. "The School of Cybernetics is a safe place where people can think laterally and be creative, being able to fail and learn from each experience. Having room to experiment is how we learn, and this is beyond experimenting in a lab. The ambiguity of this gives you space to fill it with your lived experience.” - Tritian Young-Glasson, Master of Cybernetics student. Cybernetics provides a transdisciplinary approach to understanding and managing the complexities of technological advancements, focusing on the components, connections, and dynamics of complex systems.
