Policy for the responsible use of AI in government (the policy) requires all departments and agencies to appoint accountable officials to oversee policy implementation. It also requires them to publish a statement explaining their approach to AI adoption and use, known as a ‘transparency statement’.
The Department of Home Affairs, including ABF (the department), published its first Artificial Intelligence (AI) transparency statement in February 2025. The department updated this statement in March 2026.
The updated statement below explains how the department uses AI safely and responsibly, in line with whole-of-government policy and oversight from our Accountable Official. It also outlines how we use AI to support our functions, manage risks, and strengthen governance, transparency and accountability as AI continues to evolve.
