Question

On 15 December 2025, version 2.0 of the Policy for the responsible use of AI in government (the policy) came into effect. A series of new requirements for most Commonwealth agencies and departments was imposed. Under the policy, the agency/department must designate an accountable use case owner for each in-scope AI use case by 15 December 2026. AOs are to maintain a register of accountable use case owners. Has any work begun on this requirement? - If yes, have any accountable use case owners been appointed? - If so, identify the date they were appointed, use case they are responsible for and their position within the agency/department. - If the agency/department believes it is captured by one of the exemptions specified by the policy, please identify which one.
