This policy statement should be read in conjunction with the Defence AI Strategy 2022.

A broad ‘systems’ perspective will ensure AI-related issues are addressed systematically and effectively. By focusing on outcomes, delivered through clear frameworks and processes, and guided by our conviction that AI can be a powerful force for good, we will ensure that we:

  • are ambitious, in terms of the tools and operational effects we seek to deliver

  • enable – rather than constrain – the delivery of those tools and effects

  • deliver and use AI-enabled capability in a safe and responsible manner
