The NSW Government's strategic policy frame for AI development and deployment by NSW Government agencies. Built around five themes — building public trust, digital uplift, building data capability, procurement, and innovation and collaboration. The policy substrate above the operational NSW AIAF (§27) and DCS-2024-04 policy.
Why it matters for NETEVO
The NSW Government's strategic policy frame for AI development and deployment by NSW Government agencies — the policy-level companion to the NSW AI Assurance / Assessment Framework. Citing the two together gives NETEVO board papers both the strategic frame (why NSW Government uses AI) and the operational template (how NSW Government assesses AI projects).
Five themes that map onto NETEVO's substrate. The strategy is built around public trust, digital uplift, data capability, procurement, and innovation and collaboration. Each theme has a direct anchor on the NETEVO citation graph: public trust pairs with ISO/IEC 38507 governance and the AICD/HTI eight elements of board-level AI governance; digital uplift anchors NETEVO's Law-to-Code Methodology positioning; data capability pairs with ISO/IEC 22989 and the OAIC training-data guidance; procurement pairs with the OAIC procurement guidance; innovation and collaboration anchors the standards-stack lineage NETEVO operates against.
The state-government ethics overlay. The strategy underwrites the NSW AI Ethics Policy (released 2020), which establishes the ethics principles NSW Government agencies must apply. Those principles overlap substantially with Australia's AI Ethics Principles 2019, but with NSW-specific procurement and assurance overlays that matter to any organisation supplying NSW Government — supply-chain vocabulary NETEVO cites directly when framing state-government audiences.
