Send us a Text Message. Welcome to the Inner Game of Change Podcast, where I explore the intricate layers of organizational change alongside insightful professionals. Today I welcome Sarah Kaur, a Design Thinking Practitioner at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO"s) Data61. With a robust background, Sarah brings over a decade of experience collaborating across disciplines to embed human-centric design in machine learning and AI research. Her work focuses on Responsible AI, striving to enhance policy and consumer experiences through ethical and technically sound AI applications. Sarah"s dedication shines through in her projects. Today, Sarah and I go through the rabbit hole of AI design for impact exploring the intersection of creativity, ethics, and technology. I am grateful to have Sarah chatting with me today. About Sarah (In her own words) Sarah Kaur is a strategic designer and HCD researcher. Her passion is supporting the creative work of teams across disciplines to collaborate, and come up with smart ways to create impact through using participatory design. She now works as a Design Thinking Practitioner at CSIRO"s Data61, where she focusses on research into Responsible AI, and embedding human insight in machine learning and AI research and product development. Sarah realises both the incredible potential for AI to support positive outcomes in policy and consumer experiences, and the lack of awareness about appropriate ethical, and technical governance in the AI space. She holds a Master of Business Analytics and a Bachelor in Fine Arts, and 12 years of professional experience supporting NFP, Government and Private organisations realise their business objectives by placing humans and quality data, at the centre of their decisions and investments. Sarah has designed and led stakeholder engagements on projects delivering algorithmic decision-making models to users. This includes Australia’s Family Court’s first machine learning product amïca, helping couples separate by automating a two-party workflow to gather data, and suggesting a fair division of assets for their agreement. Prior to becoming a strategic designer, Sarah was a video artist working with dancemakers, and a curator and artistic producer for multidisciplinary festivals. Making a tough choice between staying an arts professional and a sustainable income meant a career change and an entry into the world of digital. She joined Tundra as a Digital Producer, and later Portable to lead the Production team and becoming the Chief of Operations and Strategy, Head of Account Management before founding the Business Design discipline. Sarah is on the Australian Red Cross Humanity First Advisory Panel to support the development of a humanitarian framework to guide ethical technology development.
