Classification system for AI use
Version 1.1
The following classification system represents how AI is commonly used in government and the domains where they are applied. Agencies must list both the usage patterns and domains which apply to their use of AI in their transparency statements.
Agencies should link to this page when listing their usage patterns and domains and may expand on their use of AI to provide more details to the public.
Usage patterns
Decision making and administrative action
Used to either:
* support decision making or the taking of administrative action by guiding, assessing or making a recommendation to a human decision maker
* make decisions or take administrative action without human intervention.
Note: not all automated decision making may be considered AI, noting the definition under the policy.
Examples include eligibility decision systems for government services or making recommendations based on submitted applications.
Analytics for insights
Used to identify, produce or understand insights within structured or unstructured materials via comprehensive data analysis, predictive modelling and/or reporting tools.
Examples include risk detection systems and forecast modelling.
