How to read this

This statement provides details of how the Royal Australian Mint (the Mint) uses AI, as directed by the Policy for Responsible use of AI in Government. (Template language)

An officer has been identified who will be the point of contact for the implementation of the Policy for Reasonable use of AI in Government at the Mint. The officer, and any other individuals participating in the implementation of the Policy have received fundamentals training in AI as a minimum.

As per the classification system for AI use, the Mint uses AI in the following usage patterns and domains:

  • Compliance and fraud detection (Shared with 9 other agencies)

In the use of Image Processing, the Mint uses basic shape recognition for identifying humans. The Mint does not identify individuals via facial recognition or any other biometric markers.

At this time, the Mint does not use AI in a way that members of the public may directly interact with, or be significantly impacted by without human intervention. The Mint’s use of AI is for the development of internal documentation, including research and drafting.

As a part of its commitment to responsible use of AI, including ensuring accountability for accuracy and decision making, Mint employees review all AI outputs. This is known as Human-in-the-loop (HITL).

The Mint understands the use of AI must be based on Australia’s AI Ethics Principals:

  • human, societal and environmental wellbeing (Shared with 1 other agency)
  • privacy protection and security (Shared with 1 other agency)

The Mint is committed to applying the cyber security requirements outlined in the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), using a risk-based approach to ensure the secure operations of all AI applications.

The AI space is evolving, and as such the Mint will continue to monitor and evaluate its current and potential future approach to AI use.

The Mint will ensure integration with the whole of government approach to AI adoption, participating in AI forums and processes where applicable. To this end, this statement will be updated as required to describe what AI will be used for, and what it will not be used for.

This review will be conducted annually, or when there is change to how AI is used at the Mint.
