Artificial intelligence is to be embedded across the Australian Public Service as the Federal Government seeks to tap into the full potential of the technology to help it run the country.

Every government agency will have an SES-level chief AI officer by July next year; a new team will be created within the Finance Department to guide the adoption of AI across the service; and contractors to the government will have to become AI-savvy to comply with new rules.

AI will be utilised across all areas of government, with the rollout of its own AI chatbot accessible to all employees, and training in the use of the technology will be made mandatory.
