By linking and analysing massive administrative datasets, AI could be used to answer previously unanswerable questions about fringe and marginalised communities.
The vast troves of Australian government administrative data represent an untapped resource, one that is only beginning to be fully appreciated with AI.
This preceded a flurry of reports and strategies, including the 2021 Australian Data Strategy, which optimistically aimed to create a “mature and well-positioned data system in Australia” by 2025.
As the Australian Centre for Evaluation outlines, “linked administrative data can provide more comprehensive information about individuals and communities”.
“There’s so many questions that we haven’t been able to answer until now that we will be able to answer with linked data,” Aitken said.
