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. In response to a question on notice asked during SBE25-26 with portfolio question number F292, DTA advised that "[a]gencies must update their [AI transparency] statement at least once a year, or sooner if there is a significant change to the agency's approach to AI or new factors that materially impact the existing statement's accuracy...If an agency has not updated its transparency statement since February 2025, it will need to do so in February 2026." Given this, has the agency/department updated their AI transparency statement since it was published? ;a. If this was updated, what date/s did the agency/department update their AI transparency statement? ;b. If the agency/department did not update their AI transparency statement within the 12 month window as required, why not? Was the agency/department aware of this requirement? ;c. If not, why was the agency/department unaware of this requirement? ;d. If the agency/department believes it is captured by one of the exemptions specified by the policy, please identify which one.
