February 2024 - Artificial Intelligence
The February 2024 edition of Science Victoria is focused on the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). From speech recognition and search algorithms, to the many types of machine learning models that can recognise patterns in data, AI is poised to fundamentally change the course of humanity. For better or worse, we must come to terms with how best to utilise and govern these incredible new tools in our work, education and play. We also take in lessons on Green Chemistry, and new techniques for dating the age of humankind's earliest ancestors.

Flying drones to track coastal erosion, building model solar vehicles, using DNA fingerprinting to detect secretive animals – science comes alive when you experience it with others in activities that are relevant and approachable. In this Community Engagement edition we show how science and technology can open the way to knowledge and solutions for the whole community.
We explore the great differences between the Indigenous and European view of the world. We have a need of Indigenous knowledge to heal our nation in many ways – to help counter the impact of climate change; to rescue our environment, both vegetation and wildlife; and to learn to live sustainably on our continent.
