Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what purposes the Maritime and Coastguard Agency has used artificial intelligence in the last 12 months.
MCA are using Microsoft 365 Copilot, which is a Generative AI tool for productivity. This tool is being trialled by a selected number of users. Copilot has been used to undertake tasks such as summarising documents, minute taking, report writing and document comparisons.
AI is not currently in use within the MCA systems or for any citizen services.
