The Digital Transformation Agency's Policy for responsible use of AI in government sets out the Australian Government approach to embrace the opportunities of AI and provide for safe and responsible use of AI. (Template language)
The National Capital Authority (NCA) is committed to identifying ethical, responsible and meaningful use when considering the adoption of AI capabilities. We will be transparent as we explore, adopt and integrate AI technology to benefit staff and external stakeholders.
Currently, the NCA does not use AI in any services we provide however we recognise the increasing use of AI and the benefits it could afford. If the NCA implements any AI capability, this statement will be updated to outline our use including:
- the intentions behind why the NCA is using AI or is considering its adoption
- classification1 of AI use according to usage patterns and domains (Shared with 1 other agency)
- classification1 of use where the public may directly interact with, or be significantly impacted by, AI without a human intermediary or intervention (Shared with 1 other agency)
- measures to monitor the effectiveness of deployed AI systems, such as governance or processes (Shared with 4 other agencies)
- compliance with applicable legislation and regulation (Shared with 4 other agencies)
- efforts to identify and protect the public against negative impacts (Shared with 2 other agencies)
- compliance with each requirement under the Policy for responsible use of AI in government . (Template language)
The Chief Information Officer is designated as the NCA’s accountable official. (Template language)
