Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used across sectors and many organisations are considering how they can harness its potential while managing associated risks.
By incorporating AI strategically and using AI correctly, not-for-profit organisations can streamline operations, make better use of resources, and increase impact in their communities. Your community organisation should be aware of the limitations and risks associated with use of AI and take action to manage this.
We have published a guide that considers the legal implications of the use of AI on community organisations.
Our guide covers:
- what is artificial intelligence?
- the benefits of using AI
- legal risks associated with use of AI
- ethical concerns associated with use of AI
- legal reforms to regulate the use of AI in Australia
- how does AI impact organisational governance?
- implementing responsible AI practices
