Attorney General's Office: Artificial Intelligence

Asked by Victoria CollinsLiberal DemocratAttorney GeneralTabled Answered 30 June 2026UIN 13347

The question

To ask the Solicitor General, what artificial intelligence services or tools are used by their department; and whether the department has a contract with each provider of those services.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) uses Microsoft Copilot as its approved artificial intelligence tool. AGO staff are provided access to Copilot through arrangements managed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which provides IT services to the AGO.

The AGO does not hold separate contracts for Microsoft Copilot. As a small ministerial department, its IT services, including access to approved AI tools, are provided through the CPS as the AGO’s shared service provider.

The Government is committed to adopting artificial intelligence in a way that is transparent, responsible and accountable to the public.
