Australia opened consultation on its draft best-practice guide for workplace AI adoption on November 12, with eight principles covering worker involvement in planning, job redesign, and health-and-safety risk management. Comments are open until January 27, 2027.
- A highlighted case: Blackmores says an AI-enabled tool cut a data-entry process from three days to ten minutes
- The author cautions that calendar time may hide waiting, and real hours — including time spent checking AI output — should be tracked
- Suggested metrics for a month later: time spent on error-checking, and what happened to the hours workers got back
