From Principles to Practice: Responsible AI Adoption in Public Sector Auditing

Generative AI has significant potential to enhance public sector service delivery, but its adoption must be supported by robust governance and responsible AI practices. This presentation shares practical lessons from an ongoing collaboration between CSIRO and the Audit Office of New South Wales (AONSW) on applying generative AI in real-world auditing workflows. The talk explores how responsible AI principles can be translated into practice, including human oversight, trustworthy evidence retrieval, governance, and risk management.
