About our speaker

Distinguished Professor Genevieve Bell AO FTSE is the Advance Global Australian Award Winner and the Advance Technology Innovation Award Winner in 2016. She holds 12 patents, has published over 30 journal articles, is a cultural anthropologist, technologist and futurist, and her research is focussed on the intersection of cultural practice and technology development.

Genevieve is a Director at 3A Institute, a Distinguished Professor at the Australian National University, Vice President and Senior Fellow at Intel Corporation and an Independent Non-Executive Director at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

She established the 3A Institute in September 2017 at the ANU with the mission of building a new applied science to effectively and ethically manage the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on humanity through better design and management of technology.

Genevieve is the inaugural appointee to the Florence Violet McKenzie Chair at the ANU, which promotes the inclusive use of technology in society. She also presented the highly acclaimed ABC Boyer Lectures for 2017, in which she investigated what it means to be human and Australian in a digital world.

She became a member of the Prime Minister’s National Science and Technology Council, and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE). In the 2020 Australia Day Honours, Bell was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia, for distinguished service to education, particularly to the social sciences and cultural anthropology.
