Answer

I am advised that AI has been used by Public Service agencies for several years. The GDDA has developed supporting frameworks and guidance including the Public Service AI Framework and Responsible AI Guidance to promote safe and responsible use for the Public Service. The Public Service AI Assurance model will supplement these existing resources.
