AI vs human agents

The evidence base, not the vibes.

A direct AI-vs-human cost comparison for identical public-service tasks isn't published as a single dataset on data.gov.au. Instead, this page shows the real underlying inputs: AI/automation datasets from government, plus APS and public-sector workforce data. Combine them to build honest comparisons.

The most recent field study of the Little Swanport estuary, Tasmania carried out by Crawford et al. (2006) collected monthly samples at sites throughout the estuary between January 2004 and January 2005. Measurements included water column nutrients, chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, salinity, phytoplankton, zooplankton and oyster growth. This work demonstrated that freshwater flows had a significan
