Australian Human Rights Commission Annual Report November 2022 This work, coordinated by Human Rights Commissioner Lorraine Finlay since her appointment in November 2021 and before that, the then Human Rights Commissioner, Ed Santow, supports the implementation of the recommendations made in the Final Report of the Human Rights and Technology project (published in May 2021) and seeks to highlight the importance of ensuring that technology is developed and used in a way that is responsible, ethical, and conscious of human rights impacts. There are two key projects that have been progressed during the 2021/22 financial year. The Commission has partnered with NAB to develop a Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) banking tool that will be available to be used by financial institutions. It is expected that the HRIA banking tool will be finalised and launched towards the end of this year. The Commission has also partnered with the Actuaries Institute to develop anti-discrimination guidelines for actuaries with respect to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in insurance practice. In the developing these guidelines the Commission conducted a survey of members of the Actuaries Institute in May 2022 that received 150 responses. Following this, the Commission facilitated an insights session with members to discuss the survey results and project in greater depth. It is expected that the guidelines will be finalised and launched towards the end of this year. The Commission has also strengthened our work in human rights and technology through participating in in international and domestic alliances and committees. This includes becoming a founding member of the Digital Rights NHRI Alliance, participating in the IT-043 AI Technical Committee (which is a Standards Australia committee) and Responsible AI Think Tank, and coordinating a submission to the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) Digital Technology Taskforce Issues Paper. Australian Federal Police (AFP)-Commission Partnership 2021–2026 Following the commencement of the 5-year Partnership in May 2021, under the leadership of Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins, the partnership assisted the AFP in its next steps along its journey to deepening its positive workplace culture. Jointly with the AFP, the team delivered a review of the AFP’s 10-year Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and a quantitative Gender Pay Gap and Equity Report which was considered by a senior AFP Committee in late 2021. 55
