Governance, government and safety
AI brings real benefits and real risks. This course helps leaders set the rules, choose tools and stay within the law. It is written for people who are not technical.
What you’ll learn.
The Australian rules
What applies to you: privacy law, records and FOI obligations, the Australian Government’s policy for responsible AI use in government, Australia’s AI Ethics Principles and your state’s own framework.
Writing an AI policy
Which tools are approved, what information can go into them, who is accountable and how staff get help.
Rating the risk
Sort AI uses by their impact. Decisions about people, such as classification or parole advice, need the most care and a human decision-maker.
Buying AI tools
Questions to ask suppliers: where data is stored, whether it is used for training, security assessments and audit logs.
Privacy and records
Prompts and AI outputs can be records. Personal information rules still apply. We show what that means day to day.
Fairness
How AI can treat groups differently, and why this matters for First Nations people and others over-represented in the justice system.
Being open about AI
Telling the public and staff when AI is used, including transparency statements for government agencies.
When things go wrong
A simple plan for AI mistakes, data leaks and misuse: who to tell, what to stop and how to fix it.
You’ll leave able to
- Set clear rules for AI at work
- Judge which uses need extra care
- Ask the right questions when buying AI
- Respond quickly when something goes wrong
