In this casual lunchtime discussion, we invite experts from different disciplines of UOW to engage in conversation about the data futures of Australian children.

People are increasingly datafied through the use of digital and surveillance technologies often in a bid to improve the efficiency of services, communication, etc. Children are no exception. In the recent 2022 Australian Federal Budget, there was strong support for businesses to go digital and provide their services online. With a growing digital economy, there is a pressing need to not only talk about the benefits of digital technologies but also the risks that come with them. Datafication, where aspects of our lives are being quantified and used to speak for us, is one such invisible risk.
