About This Event

What can motorsport teach us about using open source and AI when decisions need to be made quickly? This Canberra session uses Red Hat’s work with Matt Stone Racing to explore how fast-moving data can become useful, actionable information in high-pressure environments.

What the discussion will cover

  • The role of open-source technologies and AI in data-informed decision-making
  • What motorsport can reveal about speed, reliability and trust
  • Open source in an AI-driven world, including innovation, transparency and flexibility
  • Security, vulnerabilities and resilience as technology capabilities evolve
  • Lessons from motorsport that may apply more broadly

Facilitators
