- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the agency's appointment papers, record each accountable official, whether the role sits with one person, a chair, or is split, and whether the Digital Transformation Agency has been emailed at ai@dta.gov.au with the contact details of all accountable officials at selection and on any later change. List the musts the standard states for those officials: accountability for implementing the policy; notifying that address of a new high-risk use case; being the contact point and answering requests for information; taking part in whole-of-government forums or nominating a delegate; and keeping up to date. Also record whether a link to the agency transparency statement has been emailed to the same address each time the statement is updated. Do not draft the transparency statement. For a high-risk notification, list only the items the standard says the notification should include: the type of AI, the intended application, how the agency arrived at high risk, and any sensitivities. The standard says the notification is also required when an existing use case is re-assessed as high risk or is no longer high risk, and that the notification is not intended to stop the agency adopting the use case.
