Wales Office: Artificial Intelligence

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeWales OfficeTabled Answered 23 January 2025UIN 24619

The question

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

Answered by Jo Stevens

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.

I am keen to adopt AI across the Department and my officials are in the process of exploring options. For example, the Wales Office Human Resources and Private Office teams are looking at how ‘Microsoft Copilot’ could be used to streamline processes.
