About the AI impact assessment tool
The impact assessment tool is for Australian Government teams working on an artificial intelligence (AI) use case. It helps teams identify, assess and manage AI use case impacts and risks against Australia's AI Ethics Principles. Understanding and managing AI use case impacts and risks is critical for effective AI governance and to fulfilling the Australian Government’s commitment to safe and responsible use of AI. The impact assessment tool supports the Policy for the responsible use of AI in government.
