American Association of State Compensation Insurance Funds’ Post

This is a very good paper by Ben Scott on OSINT - including both publicly and commercially available information (PAI and CAI) - within the NIC. I agree with Ben's argument for the creation of a dedicated OSINT agency within the NIC - as its 11th member. I think such an agency, using normal NIC tradecraft could be a real force multiplier for Australia. Additionally, as a statutory agency, with appropriate funding, it would send the right market signals to PAI and CAI organisations to build robust public-private partnerships which would add valuable mass to the NIC in this time of strategic uncertainty. Add leading edge AI technology, and you have a real winner. However, I think its proposed name - the 'Australian Unclassified Source Intelligence Agency' or 'AUSINT' is probably too close to 'AUSTINT' the abbreviation which represents the Army's Australian Intelligence Corps. That's a small point and other names could be proposed and decided upon. #osint #intelligence #ai

This is big news in the world of AI, and will impact government in significant ways. Take a look at our brief summary of the new National Framework for the Assurance of AI in Government.

The Australian government has introduced the National Framework for the Assurance of AI in Government, a significant step towards responsible AI adoption. This framework emphasizes key aspects like Governance, Data Governance, Risk Management, Standards, and Procurement. By fostering transparency and accountability, it aims to ensure ethical AI deployment in public services, build public trust and align with global best practices.

What transparency means for LLMs is a crucial question that will determine how community norms and regulation evolve around this central technology. The Center for Research on Foundation Model's new Foundation Model Transparency Index (FMTI) heavily complicates what researchers, and especially open source scientists, mean about transparency. To me, transparency is openness acting in good faith, but the FMTI includes way too many components of corporate compliance (among other issues). In order to create a clear definition of what transparency is and should be, we wrote a detailed critique of what we should keep and what we should revisit in the FMTI. How the Foundation Model Transparency Index Distorts Transparency Evaluating transparency requires precision.
