Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2024
405. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if his Department has ever used artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, in drafting Dáil speeches or responses to Parliamentary Questions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29282/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not use ChatGPT or any other Artificial Intelligence (AI) to conduct business. As with all new technologies, my Department is assessing the potential of AI in the delivery of services, in line with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidance on its usage in the public service, and works closely with the NCSC which encompasses the State's national/governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-IE). My Department does not comment on operational security matters as it would be inappropriate to disclose information that may in any way assist those with malicious intent.
