[EGOV LIST] PhD Scholarship Australia - GenAI in Social Service Organisations

[Paul Henman via eGov-list]

The University of Queensland (a global top 50 university) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society (ADM+S<https://www.admscentre.org.au/>) is recruiting a PhD student to study Generative AI in Social Service Organisations.

Generative AI provides new opportunities for social service organizations in internal operations and in providing service delivery. While there are considerable risks, through collaborative co-designing and deploying such tools in an ethical, responsible and safe manner, generative AI tools can support human professionals and service users for enhanced greater wellbeing outcomes. Working in a multi-disciplinary research team, this project involves working with a social service organization (to be determined with the candidate and advisors) to identify, co-design and pilot generative AI tools. You will require a demonstrated interest in connecting technology with social science.

The Scholarship is AUD$35,000 tax free.
