The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what the cost to the public purse is of AI training programmes for civil servants.

Answered by Feryal Clark

Learning in the civil service can be sourced either at a department level or centrally via a cross government learning framework. We are unable to share total consolidated spend but the spend associated with AI training purchased via the learning framework in 2024 is £107,000.
