🏆 Join us in congratulating Dr Kemal Kurniawan, Dr Mel Mistica, Prof Tim Baldwin and A/Prof Jey Han Lau in receiving the community engagement award at the 2026 Financial Review AI Awards. In partnership with community legal centre Justice Connect (JC), the team has created an AI tool that makes community legal advice more accessible. JC provides free legal advice, often to vulnerable communities. Prior to the AI tool, determining what type of legal advice people need, and triaging them accordingly, was resource intensive. Dr Kemal Kurniawan, who led the team of researchers, said "the tool we created is already having a major impact on the community and means JC’s lawyers can help more people". 🔗 Tap to learn more → https://unimelb.me/3PMnTOF
