The release comprises two APSC tables setting out the potential benefits, risks and mitigations of artificial intelligence for the Australian Public Service workforce. Benefits include streamlining repetitive work, expanding staff skills, and supporting transitions into new roles through job design and reskilling. Risks cover workforce adaptation, low or over-reliant AI adoption, uncertainty from rapid AI development, and erosion of trust among staff and the public. Mitigations reference central agency guidance, consultation with employees and unions, leader capability support, implementation of the APS AI Plan, and monthly monitoring of trust in public services. A second table maps AI capabilities such as forecasting, recognition, content generation and anomaly detection across nine APS functions. The extract contains no workforce headcounts, salary figures, expenditure, contract values or Code of Conduct findings, and no information on whether advice was adopted. Some content is redacted.
