AI Forum Participation

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. The policy requires accountable officials (AOs, appointed as part of the first version of the policy) to oversee the agency's/department's compliance with the policy. It requires AOs to respond to Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) requests for information and engage in whole-of-government AI forums and processes. Has the AO for the agency/department been invited to participate in any whole-of-government AI forums or processes? If yes, identify: 1. the date and subject of each such forum/process, 2. whether the AO engaged with the forum/process and, 3. if the AO did not engage with the forum/process, an explanation as to why not. If the agency/department believes it is captured by one of the exemptions specified by the policy, please identify which one.
