Algorithm Charter for Aotearoa New Zealand

Algorithm Charter for Aotearoa New Zealand 

IR adopted the Algorithm Charter (the charter) for Aotearoa New Zealand in July 2020. The charter includes 6 commitments intended to shape government agency behaviours in ways that minimise risk to people and maximise the benefits algorithms can provide.   

IR has a governance programme over our data and information, which includes how we work with the charter commitments and assessing the risk when we use algorithms.

Legislation provides us and our customers with specific rights regarding information.  

AI Governance

Our AI governance activities follow Government direction along with guidance from system leads on the approach and work on AI.

We have legal, ethical and business responsibilities to ensure that the data and information we are a steward of is protected, maintained and developed for the benefit of more than just ourselves.
