Cancer Australia's AI Transparency Statement

The Digital Transformation Agency's Policy for the 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.

Cancer Australia (CA) 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, 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.

  • To enhance workplace productivity and support corporate and enabling functions. These applications focus on streamlining internal processes and automating routine tasks.

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.

If CA implements any AI capability in service delivery, this statement will be updated to outline our use including:
