Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what purposes their Department has used artificial intelligence in the last year.

Over the last year, the Cabinet Office has used artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency, improve productivity, and accelerate operational speed across government.

The Department’s goal has been to use AI - where reasonable and possible to do so - to free up officials to focus on higher value strategic work and delivering on the country’s priorities. There are significant potential gains from safe and responsible AI adoption within the public sector.

Guidance on this can be found in the Government’s AI playbook and strategy.
