"Today, almost a quarter of Australians are digitally excluded. This means they
miss out on the social, educational and economic benefits online connectivity
provides.

In the face of this ongoing “digital divide”, countries are now talking about a
future of inclusive artificial intelligence (AI).

However, if we don’t learn from current problems with digital exclusion, it
will likely spill over into people’s future experiences with AI. That’s the
conclusion from our new research published in the journal AI and Ethics."
