This FOI release is a decision letter from the ATO dated 9 October 2026, granting partial access to one document: the most recent internal Artificial Intelligence Use Case Register or equivalent record of in-scope AI use cases, held by the Smarter Data business area. The letter itself describes no substantive AI use cases, figures or policy positions, so the content of the register is not summarised here. Access was refused to parts of the document under paragraph 37(2)(b) (lawful investigation methods), and the names of certain SES officers under paragraph 47E(c), and non-SES officer names under paragraph 47E(d), were withheld on work health and safety and operational grounds. The letter also records a statutory extension granted by the OAIC, with a new due date of 10 October 2026, and sets out internal and OAIC review rights.
