A new project by RMIT University called The Australian Internet Observatory is opening the ‘black box’ of digital platforms and their algorithms so that we can understand how people are using search engines, social media, messaging systems, and other digital services. They aim to look into AI as well.

The Australian Internet Observatory Program Lead and Director of the ARC Centre of Automation, RMIT Distinguished Professor Julian Thomas joined 2SER with The Daily show host Nelson Scott to share more about it.
