Continuing the conversation
Artificial Intelligence and its uses will continue to evolve, so its important New Zealand businesses connect and collaborate to support responsible approaches.

AI is developing rapidly and approaches to safe and responsible AI adoption will likely evolve over time. Businesses should connect with one another where possible to share responsible AI approaches, patterns and solutions. This will help grow our collective knowledge on how to best use these systems, and how to steward trustworthy AI that responds to social, legal and ethical challenges.
We hope to improve and build on this guidance in partnership with New Zealand businesses, and to reflect emerging international knowledge and practice.
This guidance is part of a broader suite of responsible AI guidance including the responsible AI guidance for the Public Service: GenAI (published by the Government Chief Digital Office in the Department of Internal Affairs). Supporting material for responsible AI guidance for the Public Service will be housed on digital.govt.nz and grow over time.

Industry sectors are encouraged to consider what other resources would support implementation of the responsible AI guidance for businesses.
The Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is also considering what support would be most useful for our small businesses to adopt AI successfully and in a responsible way, in line with this guidance.
