An artificial intelligence (AI) strategy released by the NSW Government today will create jobs and deliver smarter and better services to citizens across NSW.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said the strategy will create thousands of jobs across NSW including demand for IT professionals, cyber security experts, data scientists, and engineers.
\n\u201cThis is great news for citizens, researchers and businesses. We know how important AI is and this strategy puts us at the forefront of this emerging space,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cScience, technology, engineering and mathematics will play a pivotal role in shaping our State\u2019s future economy and we cannot be spectators on the sidelines. We must lead and be the engine room for future jobs.\u201d
\nMinister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said the strategy sets a bold roadmap for the trusted, tested and transparent use of AI in government services.
\n\u201cWhether it\u2019s at home, online, on the road or at the supermarket, the use of AI is becoming more prevalent in day-to-day life and is often deployed in subtle ways to make customer interactions and services more seamless,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cThis strategy brings together the three key pillars of privacy, transparency and security, within the prism of ethics.\u201d
\nA new body, the NSW Government AI Review Committee, will be established to oversee the use of AI across government. The Committee will be chaired by the NSW Government Chief Data Scientist, Ian Oppermann and work with all government agencies.
\nThe strategy also prioritises the development of AI skills in government and will strengthen industry partnerships through a consistent approach to procurement of AI products and services.
