This session will demonstrate how AI can support software teams by automating routine tasks, suggesting code, and improving productivity.
The new API based coding capability developed by the ABS makes coding textual data to ABS structured classifications easier, faster and cheaper. Using ML trained models, the Coding Service uses cloud compute for power and scale to achieve highly automated, high-quality coding.
The Liaison Analytics Tool is a secure, in-house AI tool, used by the RBA, that helps turn 25 years of business liaison meeting notes into a structured, searchable dataset. The tool is designed for use by the liaison team, helping them quickly find relevant insights, track topics, and extract firm-reported data.
This session will demonstrate how AI can assist staff in identifying key moments, extracting relevant content, and supporting internal briefings. Explore how the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) uses its AI tool “Parlihelper” to summarise Senate Estimates hearings.
This session will highlight how AI can support internal audit teams by summarising findings, spotting patterns, and generating insights that inform decision-making. It’s a compelling example of how AI can enhance assurance functions and help agencies move from reactive to proactive risk management.
This session will explore how AI tools can support early warning systems by identifying patterns and anomalies that may signal reputational, operational, or policy risks.
