What the statement says

How to read this

The NACC is trialling Microsoft Copilot and authorised public generative AI services for workplace productivity and analytics in its corporate and enabling and law enforcement, intelligence and security domains. An AI Governance Committee, a Chief AI Officer and an AI Accountable Official govern this use. All staff must complete AI fundamentals training before they get access, and AI must not be used for automated decision making or to replace human judgement. read by Claude Opus 5.5

The statement

How to read this

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. (Template language)

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:

  • Law enforcement, intelligence and security. Also appears in 1 other agency ATO

Examples of use cases being trialled:

  • Drafting internal and external documents including reports, interview scripts, and operating procedures
  • Summarising documents including legal documents
  • Transcribing and summarising online meetings
  • Searching for and presenting relevant information
  • Automating retention labelling for documents.
  • Law enforcement, intelligence and security. Also appears in 1 other agency ATO

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 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 assist in governing the adoption and use of AI:

  • Reviewing and approving AI plans and policy frameworks
  • Reviewing high risk AI systems and use-cases.
  • Driving the use of the adoption and use of AI.
  • 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 adoption of further AI technologies at the NACC, we will ensure appropriate technology, process and ethical governance are 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 Also appears in 1 other agency CDPP
  • classification of use where the public may directly interact with, or be significantly impacted by, AI without a human intermediary or intervention Also appears in 1 other agency CDPP
  • measures to monitor the effectiveness of deployed AI systems, such as governance or processes Also appears in 4 other agencies CA CDPP HSRA NCA
  • compliance with applicable legislation and regulation Also appears in 4 other agencies CA CDPP HSRA NCA
  • efforts to identify and protect the public against negative impacts Also appears in 2 other agencies CA NCA
  • compliance with each requirement under the Policy for the responsible use of AI in government. Also appears in 1 other agency CA

The NACC will update this statement in accordance with the Australian Government’s Policy for the responsible use of AI in government: (Template language)

  • when making a significant change to the agency’s approach to AI
  • when any new factor materially impacts the existing statement’s accuracy. Also appears in 1 other agency DAFF
