69651 (2024). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister for Digitising Government: How is the data of clients or citizens being stored in the AI Use Cases provided to the Minister?
Hon Judith Collins: The agencies surveyed were not requested to provide information on client or citizen data storage. Agencies are responsible for developing their own AI policies on the use of AI. Guidance advising agencies on how to use Generative AI safely, ethically and in a privacy-protecting way was issued by the Data, Digital, Procurement, Privacy and Cyber Security System Leads in July 2023. This guidance can be found on the Digital.govt.nz website at: www.digital.govt.nz/standards-and-guidance/technology-and-architecture/artificial-intelligence/interim-generative-ai-guidance-for-the-public-service.
