Dominique Carlon

I am a Research Fellow in Inclusive AI at Swinburne University and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society (ADM+S).

​

I work on the Critical Capabilities for Inclusive AI and Generative Authenticity projects, collaborating with community organisations, non‑profits, and advocacy groups to evaluate inclusive AI systems and co‑develop accessible learning strategies and resources. ​

​

My current research explores community‑led innovations in AI-scam resilience, scambaiting practices, bot‑creation, and the governance of hybrid human–AI expression.

​

Based in Naarm, Melbourne. Interdisciplinary and always curious.

January 2026:​

  • Delivered a webinar on AI Overviews for HIV Online Learning (HOLA), Health Equity Matters workforce development initiative. Hosted by Daniel Reeders (NAPWHA)  and alongside fellow presenter Ashwin Nagappa (ADM+S), the session examined how emerging AI search systems — including overviews, chatbots, and voice‑based tools — are reshaping health information‑seeking practices.

  • Had a great time meeting the 30 shortlisted teams in the 2025 QBE AcceliCITY Humanitech Challenge for a Q&A session on 'Designing for Impact Without Harm: Ethics in Automated Decision‑Making' (delivered alongside Angela Dunbar, Head of Privacy, Information and Knowledge Management at the Australian Red Cross). Looking forward to seeing more from these humanitarian-tech innovators.
