Artificial Intelligence (AI) has huge potential to support the Government’s mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower and accelerate to net zero. Over the last 12 months DESNZ officials have, with robust safeguards and governance, used AI tools to:
- Speed up office-based tasks including basic drafting, summarising, and searching internal and external information sources;
- Analyse internal information sets;
- Analyse external information, such as job listings to identify trends in green jobs.
Ministers have been supported by officials using AI tools, in line with the uses above.
