The Australian Taxation Office has issued draft chief executive instructions on the approved uses and restrictions of workplace generative artificial intelligence to all of its 21,493 employees.
The guidance comes as the federal government pumps the accelerator on the rollout of the controversial technology across the Australian Public Service.
With Public Service Minister Katy Gallagher on Wednesday revealing the Department of Finance will effectively provide a central command and support facility for APS AI deployments — within set boundaries, use cases, locations, and feedstock — the ATO’s draft guidelines from the agency’s chief, taxation commissioner Rob Heferen, are likely to form a core template for other agencies to follow.
