The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether National Cyber Security Centre guidelines are used to assess the potential impact of AI on the public sector.

Answered by Feryal Clark

National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidance is a key resource used by the Government when assessing the potential impact of AI on government and the broader public sector. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the Cabinet Office incorporate NCSC guidance and actively engage with their subject matter experts when developing policy and guidance, including the AI Playbook.
