A joint approach to safe and responsible AI by the Australian, state and territory governments.
The National framework for the assurance of artificial intelligence in government was agreed to and released by the Data and Digital Ministers Meeting on 21 June 2024.
It establishes cornerstones and practices of AI assurance, an essential part of the broader governance of how governments use AI.
The practices demonstrate how governments can practically apply Australia’s AI Ethics Principles to their assurance of AI.
The cornerstones are 5 mechanisms that governments should consider to ensure effective application of the ethics principles.
