FRNSW/ University of Newcastle
Sara Mills is an operational firefighter with Fire and Rescue NSW and a PhD candidate at the University of Newcastle, researching human-centric AI governance in high-consequence environments.
Her work focuses on how practitioners interpret and respond to AI-enabled outputs in operational contexts, identifying trust thresholds that determine when information is accepted, questioned, or rejected, and using these insights to inform governance for their appropriate use.
She has a strong interest in emerging and innovative technologies, with a focus on how they can be applied to disaster response, safety, preparedness, and risk reduction.
Sara is also a committed advocate for women in the fire service, with a focus on supporting long-term participation, capability, and progression within the job.
