Mentoring in the UNSW business school’s Sandbox education program for technology innovation and transformation to social justice and sustainability by enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion in AI and data science. So far, I have mentored 3 projects:1) Mitigating the risk of climate change to first nations peoples. The project outcomes can empower and mobilize the first nations peoples as citizen scientists for mitigating their risks related to climate change,2) Enhancing awareness and preserving aboriginal art, language and culture by adopting science and technology for social justice. These initiatives help first nations peoples to sustain their traditional life and cultural heritage,3) Adopting modern science and technologies (e.g., AI and AR) to enhance international humanitarian law (IHL) implementation to save lives in conflicts. The possibilities are being explored to adopt AR and AI technologies for enhancing the situational awareness around the Red Cross emblem to save lives in conflicts.
