Our use of artificial intelligence

At Wildlife Health Australia (WHA), we are committed to being open about how we use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), in our work. We are guided by the Australian Government’s National AI Plan, Australia’s AI Ethics Principles, and the National AI Centre.

We use AI in our organisation

Our team may use AI tools to support their work, including tasks like drafting communications, summarising information, and improving our administrative processes. We believe AI, used responsibly, can help us be more effective and focus more time on the partners we support.

We are developing our AI governance framework

We are currently developing an AI policy and guidelines to govern how AI is used across our organisation. This framework will set out:

• which AI tools are approved for use and which are not
• how we protect the privacy and safety of our data and our people
• how we review AI-generated content before it is used and,
• how we label content that has been created or assisted by AI.

We expect to publish our full AI transparency statement once this framework is finalised and endorsed by our board. We will update this page at that time.

Our commitment to data privacy

The safety and privacy of our partners and their data and information is our highest priority. While we are developing our framework, we have put in place principles that guide our team when using AI at WHA. All AI-generated content that relates to our work or communications is never without human control and oversight.
