Lee Hickin, Executive Director, National AI Centre speaking:
AI is changing the way businesses operate – helping improve efficiency, enhance services, and unlock new opportunities.
Realising the benefits of AI is important, but earning trust through responsible use is essential.
Previously the government released the voluntary AI safety standard. We’ve continued to work with industry to review the guidance, and we’ve streamlined the 10 guardrails down to 6 key practices.
The 6 key practices maintain alignment with Australia’s AI Ethics Principles and international standards. To offer clear, actionable guidance for both technical teams and non-technical decision-makers.
If you're just starting out, the foundational guidance provides the practical steps to help you align AI with your business goals, understand the role of governance, and manage risk.
If you're scaling your AI adoption, the extended practices step you through detailed technical guidance to enhance your governance, improve oversight, and embed responsible AI across your systems, processes and decision-making.
Adopting these practices helps you seize the opportunity of AI while building customer trust in how it’s used across your business.
