DOMINIQUE CARLON
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.
