Harnessing AI tools for fraud and corruption risk management
The Australian Government is increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) tools, which are already transforming the way we do business. These tools create new opportunities to enhance existing processes, improve service delivery for people and increase efficiency.
The Commonwealth Fraud Prevention Centre has developed a suite of resources to help Australian Government officials use approved enterprise AI tools safely and effectively to support fraud and corruption risk management.
Designed to combine the power of AI with human expertise, these resources can help officials to:
- identify risks earlier
- strengthen controls
- improve policy and program design
- enhance the quality and consistency of fraud and corruption risk management activities.
They are also designed to support Australian Government entities to meet key obligations under the Commonwealth Fraud and Corruption Control Framework.
This initiative aligns with Australian Government Policy for the responsible use of AI in government and supports the safe, transparent and accountable adoption of AI across the public sector.
