Knowledge Partner Session 02: Governance and deployment of AI for Anticorruption in the Public Sector: A Policy-Academy partnership
Mar 23, 2026 | 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Auditorium
Description
Organised by University of Sydney School of Law
This session will present the opportunities for government agencies to cooperate with academia in the context of AI deployment for anticorruption efforts. First, presenting a multi-faceted research and policy initiative on artificial intelligence (AI) and anticorruption, currently being undertaken in collaboration between the U. of Sydney and the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (NSW ICAC). Supported by the Australian Research Council, the project seeks to rethink the deployment of AI and automated decision-making systems within government (from initial design through to decommissioning) with a view to strengthening anticorruption safeguards. Ranging from assessing institutional risk appetites for AI to revising procurement frameworks for AI-enabled technologies, the project offers a learning pathway for anticorruption agencies and government entities more broadly. Second, it will present a policy-driven exercise of deployment of AI to assess the alignment of OECD integrity and anti-corruption related instruments and relevant Thai laws, policies and practices, within the broader TH2OECD project, highlighting the potential for collaboration with the academic community.
