ai.gov.au from the National AI Centre still feels light on hard rules. For boards that already want to do the work, it is a usable front door - templates, screening, shared language.
Existing law did not wait for a shiny AI site. Privacy Act duties and director duties under the Corporations Act still apply to AI use. Pretending GenAI is a regulation-free zone is how you get surprised.
AICD and ASIC expectations are clear enough:
- Move from shadow AI (staff pasting into consumer tools) to board-endorsed policy
- Treat digital literacy as a director skill, not a nice-to-have for 2026
I mapped how to fold that into ordinary risk work in Securing AI Initiatives. Start on ai.gov.au if you need the public vocabulary. Do not stop at the PDF download.
