AI transparency statement
At NOPSEMA, we are excited to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance workplace productivity in a way that keeps humans at the centre of our decision making. We are pledged to doing this in a safe, secure, and ethical fashion.
Current AI usage
Our AI usage is focused on enhancing corporate and enabling functions by way of AI tools such as:
- meeting transcription and automated document summarisation
- virtual assistants, that streamline workflows and improve efficiency
- deep data analysis, that helps us understand both structured and unstructured material.
NOPSEMA does not currently use AI in service delivery - specifically AI is not used in compliance, auditing or decision-making without having a human-in-the-loop. This means that while AI technologies may be used to assist in various tasks, any final decisions or actions are made by a human.
Future AI adoption
Should we decide to extend our AI usage, or implement any public facing AI capabilities, we will update this statement to reflect this, including:
- our purpose and objectives behind adopting AI
- any direct interactions the public may have with AI systems
- measures to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of AI systems
- compliance with relevant legislation and regulations
- efforts to mitigate any potential negative impacts of AI.
Governance and policy
NOPSEMA is aligned to the Australian Policy for the responsible use of AI in government and we are committed to keeping our stakeholders informed about our AI initiatives.
- We are developing an internal AI usage policy that conforms to government guidelines and best practices.
- This AI transparency statement will be reviewed annually, or whenever significant changes occur in our approach to AI.
- All staff will receive training on the responsible use of AI.
