## Scope

Australia, one central bank. The bank's own research paper says its text analytics and retrieval tool, created in late 2022 and in use to support economic analysis, lets analysts filter, query and aggregate about 25 years of liaison messages at scale, after which staff extract insights and produce on-demand briefings for executives; and that it will always remain critical for economists using the tool to interrogate, validate and apply judgement to its outputs. One team's work; no change in economists' hours is measured.

## What this means

At one central bank, finding and summarising the evidence for a briefing is done with an AI tool, and the economist's job is to check and judge it.

## What it does not show yet

One institution's own paper about one team; it does not show AI writing the papers or any change in time.

## How to verify it yourself
