Specialists in technology, data, governance and risk

The integration and adoption of artificial intelligence by Australian organisations is creating new opportunities — as well as new challenges. As many businesses around the world seek to harness AI’s potential, others are restricting its use to minimise legal and ethical risks.

Appropriate due diligence, privacy compliance, and staff training are now essential to the successful deployment of any AI tool.

This guide outlines key privacy and data protection considerations for Australian organisations looking to use AI, with a focus on recent guidance from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). It includes a practical checklist to help your team assess risks and take action.

AWO’s AI governance and privacy advisory services support clients ranging from international organisations to startups. If you need help implementing the guidance, drafting internal policies, or reviewing your AI tools and practices, our team is here to assist.
