Artificial Intelligence Policy

The Government of Western Australia’s Artificial Intelligence Policy specifies the principles that must be applied by WA Government agencies who are developing or using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. 

Artificial Intelligence Assurance Framework

The Government of Western Australia’s Artificial Intelligence Assurance Framework (the Framework) supports the WA Government Artificial Intelligence Policy to help you design, build and use AI or data driven tools appropriately.

All AI systems and projects based on data driven tools must be assessed against the Assurance Framework. The Framework should be applied during all stages of development and operation of AI systems.

AI projects/systems that meet the following threshold must submit their completed assessments for review by the WA AI Advisory Board:

  • Funding has been provided through the Digital Capability Fund; or
  • Total cost exceeds $5 million; or
  • Residual risk/s (after mitigations) are mid-range or higher.
