A model can generate an answer. An agent can take an action. Neither takes over accountability for what happens next.
If an AI-assisted decision were challenged tomorrow, could your organisation explain who authorised it, which controls operated and what actually happened?
That is why we developed Songlines around Australian legislative obligations—not just the capabilities of the technology.
Cetus AI is Australian-owned and operated, based in Queensland. Our new white paper, “Designed for Australian Accountability”, explains how privacy, corporate governance, consumer protection, public-resource and records obligations inform the platform’s design.
It tackles the questions that matter to boards, executives and government leaders:
- Who owns the AI use, and what is it authorised to do?
- Did the intended controls actually operate at the point of action?
- Can we trace the decision and outcome—and identify missing evidence?
- Do the claimed benefits have a basis Business and Finance can validate?
Songlines connects customer-approved policy, configured decisions and reviewable evidence across selected workflows. Customer systems enforce those decisions; legal interpretation and accountability remain with the organisation.
A policy is the starting point. The next challenge is demonstrating how it worked in practice.
If you’re responsible for AI adoption, oversight or investment, this paper is for you.
Which of these questions is hardest for your organisation to answer today?
