The Department uses a range of tools to aid decision making, including services built by our staff and externally procured software and tools. These tools include use of what is commonly referred to as artificial intelligence to generate insight from large and complex data. However, all final decisions are made by humans, using the insight generated from these tools. Individuals are made aware of the limitations of these tools which only form part of the decision-making process.
