Evidence snapshot for Canberra
Australia's Whole-of-Government Microsoft 365 Copilot Trial shows that Canberra conducted the world's largest whole-of-government AI trial, giving over 5,000 Australian Public Service staff across almost 60 agencies access to Microsoft 365 Copilot from January to June 2024, with an independent evaluation finding participants saved up to an hour a day and 77% reported satisfaction. Australia's AI Transparency Statements demonstrates that Canberra required 94 federal agencies to publish AI-use transparency statements after an independent audit identified compliance gaps. The evidence quantifies trial participation and agency coverage but does not extend to broader city-level or national policy outcomes beyond these two digital-government initiatives.
