Department for Culture, Media and Sport: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, for what purposes their Department has used artificial intelligence in the last year.
Answered by Ian Murray
DCMS follows the UK Government’s AI Playbook principles on safe, effective and responsible adoption of AI, and works closely with DSIT as the “Digital centre of government”.
Any use of third party AI tooling is subject to multidisciplinary assurance prior to any use, including Cyber security, Data Protection, Knowledge and Information Management, and Technology assurance.
DCMS is in its early days in terms of AI usage and measuring benefits to productivity. In the past year the Department has used AI for the following:
Summarising large documents and emails
Analysis of large documents, drawing out key information and drafting reports
Drafting meeting notes
Generating draft content
Enhancing our departmental data science capability
Proof of concept of using AI large language models (LLMs) to analyse free text responses to a public consultation
AI produced data or drafts are manually reviewed. No decisions are made by the Department based on AI outputs, without manual checks and manual intervention.
