The question

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

Answered by Lucy Rigby

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the heart of the Government’s plan to kickstart an era of economic growth, transform how we deliver public services, and boost living standards for working people across the country


Ministers have not used AI in the Department in their roles as Law Officers.


A small number of officials within the Department have been piloting the use of a Microsoft 365 application ‘CoPilot’ which can be used to summarise content and meetings, assisting with drafting content and interrogating information. ChatGPT has also previously been used in this manner.
