## What's new

- **The decision log.** A new `Decision log` tab on
  [AI assistance](/integrations/ai-assistance) lists every AI output: the capability, the record it
  was for, the model and prompt versions, and who accepted, edited, noted or discarded it, and when.
  An output nobody acts on within 30 days is marked `Not used`. The log keeps references and hashes,
  never the prompt or the output, and no one can edit or delete an entry. Filter it by capability,
  record, person or date, and select `Export CSV` to download what you filtered.
- **AI assisted in record histories.** When an accepted AI output changes a record, its history
  shows an `AI assisted` line that opens the decision log entry.
- **Published model cards.** Each AI capability has a model card saying what it is for, the model
  and provider, where requests are processed, what it uses and never receives, what it never does,
  where a person approves, its limits and when it was last evaluated. The card is shown when you
  switch a capability on, and on a public `AI model cards` page on your applicant portal that
  anyone can read without signing in.
- **The privacy statement.** A new `Privacy statement` tab writes the automated-decision statement
  for your privacy policy from the capabilities you have on: the kinds of personal information they
  use, the decisions each one helps with, and that no decision is made by a computer program alone.
  It is dated, and it is written again whenever a capability changes. Select `Copy statement` to
  paste it into your policy.

## Why it matters

From 10 December 2026 the Privacy Act requires an organisation to say in its privacy policy when a
computer program helps make decisions about people. The statement, the model cards and the decision
log let you say what AI does in your grant-making, show that a person decides, and answer for every
output afterwards. Have your own adviser read the statement before you publish it.

## Where to find it

`Settings > Profile and terms`, on the `AI assistance` tab: `Decision log` and `Privacy statement`
sit beside `Settings` and `Usage`.
