Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department has issued guidance to other departments on using AI to (a) read and (b) analyse responses to government consultations.

The digital centre of government within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, has been established to bring together central digital, data, technology and AI teams and act as a catalyst for technology adoption and service transformation across government. To date it has not issued guidance on using AI for reading or analysing the responses to government consultations. The Central Digital & Data Office (CDDO) within the digital centre of government does publish wider guidance on the use of AI across the government (Generative AI Framework for HMG).
