Currently, CA is in the process of piloting the use of AI in the CA context. Our intent is to leverage AI to drive innovation and improve operational efficiency.

CA does not currently use AI in service delivery, specifically AI is not used in compliance, auditing or decision-making without having a human-in-the-loop.

We have developed a Cancer Australia Ethical AI strategy which outlines the appropriate use of AI in the CA context, including risks that need to be managed, benefits and the process for implementing new AI use cases.
