AI is expected to help regulators detect risks earlier, prioritize inspections, reduce administrative burdens, and analyze large datasets while maintaining human judgment in decision-making.

New Zealand’s regulatory landscape comprises over 260 overlapping regulators across central and local government, statutory bodies, and tribunals, creating complexity, high costs, delays, and weakened accountability. This tangled system, built up over 25 years, affects many daily activities and has hindered efficiency, prompting the government to launch a programme to identify and reduce duplication and unnecessary regulation. The Ministry for Regulation will maintain updated mappings to support ongoing review and reform efforts aimed at simplifying government, reducing bureaucracy, and improving outcomes for taxpayers and frontline services.
