AI Policy

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 received any information requests from DTA? If yes, for each such information request, identify: 1. the information sought, 2. the date of the request, 3. the date the AO responded, 4. whether any follow-up was required (and, if so, the date that the request was considered by the AO to be complied with). If the agency/department believes it is captured by one of the exemptions specified by the policy, please identify which one.
