At the invitation of the ‘Young Australians in International Affairs’ organization, RUMLAE Deputy Director, Professor Melissa de Zwart hosted a highly engaging event on Monday night (Oct 22) titled ‘Technology 2.0: Future Technology and Australia’s Defence Interests’.  An auspicious panel comprising representatives of the Australian Defence Force, SA Govt, Industry and a private ‘think tank’ grappled with questions relating to Artificial Intelligence, Cyber and Space based capabilities. Prof De Zwart, expertly guided the panel and audience through a series of questions that touched on issues of international relations, national security, law and ethics in relation to these technologies.  The room was full of interested audience members and a lively Q and A session followed the panel discussion with multiple exchanges on where Australia and Australian Defence capability presently stood and what the future held.’
