The Department of Foreign Affairs has not deployed computer applications based on generative artificial intelligence (A.I.). Therefore no cost has been incurred in this area.

The use of artificial intelligence for business purposes is under review. The Department has received advice from the National Cyber Security Centre and will follow other guidelines issued by Government.
