Data & Analytics Wednesday is an informal, monthly gathering of people in the data and analytics, marketing and optimisation community that happens in cities all around the world. Formerly known as Web Analytics Wednesday Sydney, we've changed to Data & Analytics Wednesday Sydney to reflect our growth since we began in 2013 - and to better represent the diversity of the topics we explore at our meetup.
We meet every second Wednesday of the month to hear talks on what's happening in the data and analytics space, with plenty of time for open discussion and networking. Plus there's free drinks!
Upcoming talksAlgorithmic assessments: challenges of red teaming generative AI
Fariza Rashid, Doctoral student, University of Sydney In this talk, Fariza will give an introduction to algorithmic assessment and highlight some current challenges in red teaming generative AI models. Fariza will also discuss findings from the Generative AI public red teaming challenge at Defcon 2023. As generative AI models can create responses that are biased, false, harmful, or even deceptive while also having many security vulnerabilities, red teaming is an adversarial and exploratory approach to evaluate a model and reveal its vulnerabilities. Fariza is a recipient of the University of Sydney Scholar Chancellor's Award and the NSW Defence Innovation Network Postgraduate Scholarship. She has presented her work at AISA Australian Cyber Conference and APRU AI for Social Good Summit. Her current research focuses on using deep learning for malicious URL detection. Panel: Hacking algorithms - AI safety and security Host: Taylor Chu, Data & Analytics Wednesday Committee Member; Analytics Business Partner, Organon; Masters student, Macquarie University Taylor will moderate a panel on technical AI governance, and the role of community-based efforts for addressing algorithmic bias. The panel will discuss current approaches to technical AI governance, their potential and limitations, as well as how community-based efforts may fit into the field. Panel
