The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what purposes (a) Ministers and (b) officials in her Department have used AI in the last 12 months.

Answered by James Murray

AI has transformative potential, with the ability to drive growth, raise living standards, transform public services, and improve the lives of working people across the UK.

In HM Treasury, we are using AI to build tools that support policy makers, including our bespoke HMT-GPT system and email triaging solution for managing correspondence.

The award-winning Hawkeye service enables the Treasury to automatically combine key data on the UK economy and provide valuable insights for analysts.

We are also adopting this modern, digital approach for the upcoming Spending Review.
