When: Thursday, 2 July - 1:30-3pm Where: 21 Bedford Street, North Melbourne (room 203) Title: What Do We Mean by "AI"? Working towards a shared vocabulary. Speaker: Dr Ben Goudey (Australian BioCommons) Abstract: AI jargon are growing faster than a shared understanding of these terms can keep up. What do we mean when we talk about AI? How do AI, GenAI, and machine learning differ? And how do LLMs, coding agents, MCP, and skills relate to each other? In this session, I want to share my perspective on AI terms and definitions and show how these different technologies and terms map together. I'll also highlight where terms have become overloaded as the underlying technology has rapidly shifted. The session is built around discussion and debate with the goal of improving our shared vocabulary in this space.
The image features a logo design on a white background. On the left side, there is a symmetrical geometric symbol resembling an "X", composed of four loops. The loops transition in colour from blue to teal to purple, creating a gradient effect. To the right of the symbol, the text "Px4 Health" is displayed. The text is in a bold, modern sans-serif font. "Px4" is in a lighter weight, while "Health" is in a heavier weight, emphasising the word.
The image is an infographic illustrating a health research process flow for Px4 Health. It begins with a group of stylised figures labelled "The community" at the bottom left, moving through several numbered stages. Stage 1 shows "The community" leading to "Cohort(s)" represented by smaller groups of figures. Stage 2 flows into an "Assessment Centre" icon in stage 3, with health information returned to participants. From here, samples go to the "Px4 Phenotyping Platform" and the "Px4 Multi-omics Platform" in stages 4 and 5, illustrating data collection and analysis. A cloud icon signifies the "Px4 Data Commons" at stage 5 for data storage. Stage 6 shows researchers analysing data, leading to the final outcome of "Improved diagnostic, therapeutics, and lifestyle interventions" in stage 7. The bottom emphasises the goal: "Better health outcomes for the community."

An illustrative diagram highlighting the clade-specific aggregation patterns of Endozoicomonas cell-associated microbial aggregates (CAMAs) in the gastrodermal cell layer of Acropora loripes coral. The main part of the image features a cross-section of a coral polyp, displaying its internal structure with a focus on the gastrodermal cell layer. The diagram is divided into two main sections. The top section depicts a stylised coral polyp tentacle containing microbial aggregates. The lower section is a detailed close-up of coral’s cellular structure, encapsulated in a rectangle. It shows various cell components, including the "Mucus layer," "Host Nuclei," "Mesoglea," and "Photosymbionts." The microbial aggregates are identified as "Endozoicomonas Clade-1 CAMA" and "Endozoicomonas Clade-B CAMA", with a "Mixed CAMA" in the centre. These are represented as circular groups within the cells, with clear labels demonstrating their distribution.
