AI READINESS, GOVERNANCE & ADOPTION


OVERVIEW

The National AI Plan and APS AI Plan are driving rapid AI adoption across government. With this comes heightened risk around privacy, security, bias, transparency and accountability.

ADC helps agencies prepare for and adopt AI safely by aligning AI initiatives with existing cyber, governance and compliance frameworks, while meeting emerging whole-of-government expectations.
