In this webinar, an engaging panel of UQ and industry experts will reveal the key drivers of trust and acceptance, including: how people view the benefits and risks, which organisations they trusted to develop and use AI, how people feel about AI at work, and community expectations of AI management, governance and regulation. Moderated by Dr Caitlin Curtis of the Centre for Policy Futures.

Between 2019 and 2022, UQ researchers conducted a major Australian Research Council funded study on ‘Fair Food Futures’: engaging close to a hundred participants in exploring how Australian community food networks envision and work towards more just and sustainable food systems. Join us for the official launch of the video animation and podcast series synthesising these visions and opportunities for building fair food systems in Australia.

This lecture will focus on programs developed by the non-profit NGO managing Tucson's UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy designation to support food heritage conservation and local food businesses. Examples will include: 1) a new annual food and culture festival connecting four international gastronomy cities to celebrate the roles of maize (corn) in their food heritages, food cultures, and cuisines; 2) a program certifying restaurants and other local food businesses to recognize their leadership in supporting the local food economy, keeping the region's food heritage alive with traditional ingredients, using environmentally-friendly and socially responsible business practices, and giving back to the community; and 3) business training workshops for food business entrepreneurs focusing on heritage ingredients.
