Meet accountability and transparency requirements

Establish the governance, accountability and transparency arrangements needed to support the responsible use of AI in your agency. Australian Government agencies have responsibilities for how AI use is governed, documented and communicated. Identify what your agency needs to establish, publish, maintain and review to meet these requirements.

Accountability

Use the standard to understand the accountability arrangements your agency needs to establish and maintain. 

Transparency
