Now in its fourth year we'll be starting this year's series at a heightened time of risk and significant activity across the security domain - the opening episodes will be discussing how these events impact private security and emergency services and what may be the broader requirements and implications.

To open the series, which will run regular episodes of live webinars, pre-recorded interviews and in-person events, we wanted to open with the current state of play – regional conflicts in the Middle East and Europe with a steadily growing risk of an Indo-Pacific conflict and how this will and may impact on the private security and emergency management sector.

In this episode we're joined by:

• Dr Malcolm Davis, Senior Analyst, ASPI

• Stephen Beaumont AM, Chair, Critical Infrastructure ISAC and

• Gill Savage, Senior Fellow, ASPI

Webinar title: Requirements and implications on the private security sector in a phase of multi-region conflict

• Implications of war (and pre-war) in the Indo-Pacific and impacts on the private security sector

• Alignment and consistency of national security advice

• Trust in information systems and delivery/interpretation

• Current and required national response frameworks should war break out in the Indo-Pacific

• Learning outcomes from the Pandemic – what went wrong and what needs to change?

Generative AI, particularly ChatGPT, is transforming service delivery for clients and end-users, prompting businesses to actively integrate this technology for operational refinement. Grant shares anecdotes, such as using ChatGPT to craft children's bedtime stories.

Acknowledging glimpses of success in applying generative AI to customer interactions, Grant highlights the challenges of scaling these applications. Ongoing efforts focus on optimizing technology for widespread use, particularly in customer service scenarios.

In the realm of Gen AI transforming information into intelligence, Grant provides statistical insights into the platform's extensive reach, encompassing millions of candidate profiles, billions of interactions, and a substantial volume of job applications. Gen AI's value lies in extracting insights from traditionally unstructured data like job ads and CVs, summarizing and distilling it for actionable intelligence.

Anticipating a transformative shift in user experience, Grant envisions users communicating with AI more naturally. This evolution, inclusive of voice interfaces, promises new avenues for interaction, moving away from adapting to machine language.

Delving into responsibility in AI implementation, Grant underscores the importance of responsibly handling data and biases to prevent reinforcing discriminatory outcomes through AI. Emphasizing the necessity to understand the risks associated with training data and be mindful of potential impacts on individuals affected by AI-generated decisions.

Exploring the challenges and realities of AI impact on jobs, Grant highlights the disparity between the hype around AI's impact on jobs and tangible transformations in the job market. A balanced perspective is crucial to avoid overestimating or underestimating AI's immediate effects. Jobs are perceived as bundles of tasks, and Grant emphasizes the complexity of job market transformations. While some tasks may automate, others evolve or experience increased demand. For instance, the transition from last-mile delivery to drone-based delivery illustrates how job demands can shift within industries.

In preparing for change and AI adoption, Grant advises individuals, employers, and business owners to embrace adaptability in the face of evolving technological landscapes. Individuals are encouraged to explore and experiment with AI tools in their daily lives. Employers should focus on evolving skill requirements rather than rigidly adhering to traditional hiring practices. Additionally, caution is advised in AI adoption, especially in building internal capabilities. It involves asking the right questions about underlying AI capabilities, understanding potential risks.
