View answerArtificial Intelligence (A.I.) tools are not currently used in my Department for drafting speeches, producing social media content, or responding to Parliamentary Questions. All staff in the Department have been informed of the Department's position on this issue.
My Department is guided by "Guidelines for the Responsible Use of A.I. in the Public Service" (DPENDR 2025) and by "Cyber Security Guidance on Generative AI for Public Sector Bodies" (NCSC, 2023).
