Ep 161 Tracey Spicer - An explorer of truth

Stand Out Life

From a young age, journalism was always on the radar for Tracey Spicer. Exploring the stories of our time and uncovering truths. This drive continues in her latest book - Man Made. Tracey is a multiple Walkley Award winning author, journalist and broadcaster who has anchored national programs for ABC TV and radio, Network Ten and Sky News. Tracey is one of the most sought-after on stage and online keynote speakers and emcees in the region. In 2019 she was named the NSW Premier’s Woman of the Year, accepted the Sydney Peace Prize alongside Tarana Burke for the Me Too movement. Struck by 7 words said to her by her son, Tracey has spent the last few years researching AI, in particular exploring how the bias of the past is being built into the future. In this conversation we chat about Tracey’s journalism career and her experience with long covid. When it comes to AI we chat about where bias in AI comes from, how you can’t just 'program bias out of AI’, and practical ways that we can all seek to be mindful of AI, both the benefits and the inherent downsides. This is a thought-provoking, engaging, and fascinating conversation with someone who is an explorer of truth. Soak up the wisdom and insight that is Tracey Spicer.
