Deputy Stanton asked about AI and advice on same. The National Cyber Security Centre has circulated advice to Departments and other public sector bodies on the use of AI. That advice is classified and has not been published but, in general, it advises not uploading confidential documents and not using the output of generative AI directly, for example, to reply to letters from the public or generate strategies or documents. There is a significant upside to generative AI – it is not just a risk – and both sides are being watched. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is responsible for ensuring we profit from AI. The cybersecurity division under me is responsible for ensuring we mitigate its risks.
