Northern Ireland Office: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, for what purposes (a) Ministers and (b) officials in his Department have used AI in the last 12 months.
Answered by Hilary Benn
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.
Northern Ireland Office Ministers do not use AI. A small number of officials in the department have carried out a time-limited test of the use of AI for taking meeting notes and summarising information. AI is not available to Northern Ireland Office officials at present and is the subject of ongoing discussions.
