Minister for Social Protection

My Department is currently developing guidance for staff on the use of artificial intelligence.

These guidelines will incorporate the principles highlighted in the "Interim Guidelines and Principles for the use of AI" published earlier this year by the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform. Any updates in guidance for the public sector will be incorporated into the Department's guidelines as they are made.
