I can't tell you how refreshing it was to be in a room with a motivated group of experts, discussing practical steps towards building a Trustworthy Digital Society.

If, like me, you have a passion for building technology with ethical human thriving in mind, I encourage you to connect with the TDS CRC. (https://tdscrc.com/)

The goal is built on 4 themes, all worthy and ambitious, and the intent is to rapidly deliver real value. Founded on trust, built at a sovereign scale with human agency and adaptive governance in scope, there is so much good this team can do.

My thanks to Steve Elias for the invitation to join The Hon. Victor Dominello, Margaret Jones PhD GAICD, Maggie Lloyd and Helge Janicke in discussing the possibilities for this very worthy CRC.

It was great to get into deeper discussions with Anthony Kapsanis, Peter Why and others at the event - the feeling of passion connected to the possibility of doing good in this area was palpable.

And finally, a special thank you to Kathryn McMahon who reminded everyone she used to push me around in my pram many, many years ago!
