The Digital Transformation Agency’s (DTA) Policy for the responsible use of AI in government sets out the Australian Government approach to embrace the opportunities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and promote the safe and responsible use of AI.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is open to exploring the opportunities presented by AI technologies. The NACC is using Microsoft CoPilot within the following usage patterns and domains:
Usage pattern: Workplace productivity
Domain:
- Corporate and enabling
- Law enforcement, intelligence and security.
Examples of use cases being trialled:
- Drafting internal and external documents including reports, interview scripts, and operating procedures
- Drafting emails
- Summarising documents including legal documents
- Transcribing and summarising online meetings
- Searching for and presenting relevant information
- Automating retention labelling for documents.
Usage pattern: Analytics for insights
Domain:
- Corporate and enabling
- Law enforcement, intelligence and security.
Examples of use cases being trialled:
- Analysing corporate datasets such as statistical data
- Formatting and analysing documents for further analysis
- Formatting and basic analysis of financial records
- Visualising data through natural language prompts.
The NACC has also authorised several public generative AI services for staff to use for information classified up to OFFICIAL.
We have implemented several policy and technical controls to maintain the security of data that that is entered into Microsoft Copilot and public generative AI services. This includes ensuring all staff have received training in AI fundamentals prior to accessing the systems.
Our internal policy restricts the use of AI technologies for automated decision making, or for generating content for official use or publication before it has been reviewed by a staff member. The NACC will not use AI to replace human judgement.
We have appointed the following internal roles to assisting in governing the adoption and use of AI:
Role: AI Governance Committee
Responsibilities include:
- Reviewing and approving AI plans and policy frameworks
- Reviewing high risk AI systems and use-cases.
Role: Chief AI Officer
Responsibilities include:
- Driving the use of the adoption and use of AI.
Role: AI Accountable Official
Responsibilities include:
- Ensuring AI policies and governance is aligned to NACC and whole-of-government security, ethical, and usage standards
- Developing AI risk assessments
- Ensuring the Commission’s AI Transparency Statement remains up to date.
Prior to the further adoption of further AI technologies at the NACC, we will ensure appropriate technology, process, and ethical governance is established. We will also update this statement to summarise:
- the intentions behind why the NACC uses AI or is considering its adoption
- classification of AI use according to required outcomes and AI system or tool
- classification of use where the public may directly interact with, or be significantly impacted by, AI without a human intermediary or intervention
- measures to monitor the effectiveness of deployed AI systems, such as governance or processes
- compliance with applicable legislation and regulation
- efforts to identify and protect the public against negative impacts
- compliance with each requirement under the Policy for the responsible use of AI in government.
The NACC will update this statement in accordance with the Australian Government’s Policy for the responsible use of AI in government:
- every twelve months (12) months
- when making a significant change to the agency’s approach to AI
- when any new factor materially impacts the existing statement’s accuracy.
