Meta-expertise: A new class of human expert for responsible AI oversight (ARC Linkage Project administered by The University of New South Wales) (2025-2030)

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence can efficiently protect the Australian passport from identity fraud and enhance identity management across society. To meet the major global challenge of responsible AI, effective oversight by human operators is essential, but there is no scientific basis for defining this role. This project aims to develop understanding of how perception and cognition combine in identification decisions, to define a new workforce of `meta-experts¿ that oversee face recognition technology. Outcomes include new individual difference tests, targeted training and model face identification evidence reports. Benefits include enhanced trust in government and security of Australian identities across sectors of society.
