NSW AI Operational Policy (2026) 10.3: 10.3 Register before use, and register the right use cases

Register AI use cases before use, and existing uses as soon as practicable, registering the remainder progressively through governance, change or review cycles; registration is required where AI introduces elevated risk, significant operational reliance or impact on people, decisions or services, or involves personal and sensitive information, including AI that automates or materially influences consequential decisions, AI embedded in operational workflows, systems or public-facing services, autonomous or semi-autonomous AI interactions, and uses of highly sensitive or security-classified information beyond approved purposes. Routine productivity, drafting, summarisation, coding support and exploratory use of approved tools within guardrails and with meaningful human oversight generally need no registration; when unsure, start the registration (precautionary approach). Third-party suppliers using AI in their services are handled through procurement, contracting and supplier assurance instead.
