Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In a firm-controlled tool, set the diagnosis beside the disease names and the catch-all wording in each opened definition, and mark whether it is named, within the catch-all, or not covered by the text opened.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the diagnosis meets the opened definition.
- Do not add a disease from memory. The Victorian First Schedule was not opened.
- Use a firm-controlled tool. ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) apply.
