Use of AI and Automated Technologies

We may use automated systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in connection with our business and services.

We do not rely solely on automated systems to make decisions that would significantly affect your rights or interests without appropriate human oversight.

We take reasonable steps to ensure any AI or automated technology we use is implemented responsibly and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Australian guidance increasingly expects businesses to disclose how AI is used and to explain how personal information may be processed by those systems. (Digital Government Australia)
