At the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), we see AI as a tool to enhance learning, educational insight, and human expertise. Our focus is on using AI in ways that are ethical, transparent, and designed to benefit learners, educators, and partners.
Our commitments
Human oversight
People remain at the centre of all significant or high-impact decisions involving our products, services, advice and the use of AI. We apply rigorous quality assurance processes to maintain integrity and fairness.
Accuracy and reliability
We validate and monitor AI-enabled systems for accuracy, and verify AI-generated outputs before they are used in our products, services, or advice.
Transparency
We will always disclose when AI is used in developing content, analysing data, or supporting decision-making.
Privacy and security
We protect personal information in line with strict privacy and data security standards, including the Australian Privacy Principles.
Ethical practice
Our approach is guided by Australia's AI Ethics Principles and by our own values of Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect and No Borders. We regularly review our practices to ensure we meet evolving ethical and community expectations.
We are continuously learning and improving as AI technologies evolve. Our goal is to use AI responsibly, in ways that advance education and uphold trust.
