students use their Global Voices to tackle important issues abroad"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Driven to make a positive difference, two Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ students will travel overseas to help tackle major issues, after winning prestigious Global Voices scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oliver Price and Ayesha Ibrahim will travel to Switzerland and the US respectively, to attend major international summits on artificial intelligence and the status of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Australian not-for-profit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalvoices.org.au\/\">Global Voices<\/a>, provides the next generation of leaders with the opportunity to gain in-person, hands-on experience in policymaking, international relations and diplomacy at major international events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice-Chancellor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/about\/leadership\/vice-chancellor\/\">Professor Harlene Hayne<\/a> said as a truly global university, it\u2019s fitting Curtin students should be on the international stage alongside world-renowned leaders in their fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI congratulate Oliver and Ayesha for their commitment to addressing such important topics as ethical AI use and women\u2019s rights,\u201d Professor Hayne said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have no doubt they will make significant contributions at their respective events and contribute to the ongoing conversations about these important subjects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fourth year Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts (International Relations) student, Mr Price was named a Global Voices AI for Good Global Summit Scholarship recipient and will attend the AI for Good Summit 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He currently works in human rights law, aiding vulnerable culturally and linguistically diverse clients navigate the Australian immigration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI aim to bring this humanitarian perspective to the development of AI policy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAI presents both opportunities and challenges and I am particularly excited to participate in discussions on AI\u2019s influence on information and misinformation with global experts and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUltimately, I hope to use this opportunity to contribute to the responsible and ethical development of AI, ensuring these technologies benefit all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently studying a Master of International Relations and National Security, Ms Ibrahim will attend the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York in March, after winning a Global Voices Commission on the Status of Women Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Commission on the Status of Women delegation\u2019s agenda resonates deeply with me because it provides a platform to amplify the voices of women whose struggles are often overlooked in policy and legislation,\u201d Ms Ibrahim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpiritual and religious abuse, including issues such as forced marriage, female genital mutilation and coercive control within faith-based communities, disproportionately affect women from minority and migrant backgrounds yet remain inadequately recognised or addressed in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am driven to bridge this gap and the Global Voices scholarship has provided me with a chance to deepen my expertise, apply my international experience locally and engage in meaningful advocacy that reflects the complexities of minority women\u2019s experiences.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driven to make a positive difference, two Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ students will travel overseas to help
