FIVEAA Afternoons with Leith Forrest - 16 October 2026

Leith ForrestHOST
Are you noticing there at Adelaide Uni, when you are the associate professor of computer science, are you noticing that there is a growing reliance on AI for a number of these kind of issues when it comes to business and small business?
J
22:35James WalshGUEST
Um, and to one extent, you have to be using it, otherwise you are gonna be falling behind.
J
22:39James WalshGUEST
It's gonna take you longer, and it's gonna be more expensive to do some tasks compared to your competitors.
J
22:44James WalshGUEST
Um, but it also then has a time and a place to be used, and that's where, as a society, we're still figuring that out.
J
22:50James WalshGUEST
And the hard part is, as these tools become, um, more and more advanced in terms of what they can achieve and the timelines they can achieve it, where are we as a society and the university really wanting to draw that line in terms of where humans are still involved and need to be involved versus, um, what we're happy to kind of, uh, outsource for that maybe an initial draft of something or kind of refining something versus actually doing the, the final piece of work as, as we saw for this.

Leith ForrestHOST
What would you suggest then? Are there ways to get around this, or is this just where they, they face themselves?
