The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, for what purposes (a) Ministers and (b) officials in his Department have used AI in the last 12 months.

Answered by Ian Murray

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. A small number of officials in the department have had access to the Cabinet Office Redbox copilot project to extract, summarise and synthesise information. The communications team also use the internal GCS Assist tool to support elements of communications planning.
