Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 15 October 2024 to Question 8456 on Strategic Defence Review, how his Department plans to use artificial intelligence to help comprehend the content of submissions to the Strategic Defence Review on defence expenditure.

Artificial intelligence aids in reviewing and analysing submissions during the Strategic Defence Review process, which include recommendations on defence expenditure. However, AI is not a replacement of human involvement, but an enabler of greater efficiency and just one part of the process. This tool helps the team concentrate on tasks like detailed reading and discussion.
