My Department and its officials do not presently use ChatGPT or any other form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate official text and no such software is installed on my official's devices.

My Department has not engaged any consultancy firms in relation to AI. However, my Department will continue to monitor developments in relation to AI, in particular with regard to potential applications that may be identified by other Government Departments.
