We are proud to announce our speakers for this event:

Dr. Michael Walker: Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning

Beginning as a theoretical physicist, Dr. Walker moved into biological modelling before doing an MPhil in bioinformatics. Following that he applied neural networks and support vector machines to molecular modelling. In his most recent position he was responsible for implementing quantum machine learning methods for a quantum computing company.

In this presentation, Dr. Walker will give a lay-person's introduction to quantum computing and outline how machine learning translates to this new computing paradigm. He shall then describe the relative pros and cons compared to conventional machine learning and outline the initial difficulties and their recent solutions.

Nakshathra Suresh: How does AI contribute to a world of cybercrime?

Nakshathra Suresh is a cyber criminologist, academic and public speaker who is one of the leading young voices in digital safety in Australia. She has delivered addresses at various conferences, podcasts, webinars and professional forums in Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and virtually.

In this session, Nakshathra will discuss how AI has transformed the world of cybercrime. She will begin with examining the cybercriminal landscape prior to the introduction of accessible, generative AI and then explore how AI has negatively impacted victim-survivors of various crime types. The session aims to provide a criminological perspective to the risks of using artificial intelligence, and empower individuals with the literacy of understanding cyber safety on a broader scale.

As always Pizza and Drinks will be provided at the venue.
