Tracking 135 agencies · rescraped daily
How the Australian Government talks about its use of AI
Since February 2025, non-corporate Commonwealth entities must publish AI transparency statements — 95 of 96 have; the one still to publish is newly created: NEPA (1 July 2026). This tracker scrapes them every day and records every change in git, then reads each change: what an agency now says it does with AI, what it has promised, and what it no longer says.
Each square is one agency, shaded by how much of its statement is its own words (bespoke) versus shared template language (borrowed). Hover or tap one to read it.
119changes of substance tracked since 11 Nov 2025, across 121 published statements from the 135 Australian Government bodies we track (428 captures in all).
