The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to support artificial intelligence projects.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The DSIT Secretary of State is committed to enabling the public sector to better adopt AI safely and in a way that saves people time, and the department’s role as the Digital Centre of Government is critical to that. There is a range of expertise within DSIT to support this ambition, including the Incubator for AI (i.AI), the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO), and Government Digital Service (GDS). The Secretary of State also asked Matt Clifford to draft an AI Action Plan to grow the AI sector and ensure AI can be deployed across the economy to improve people’s lives.
