My Department does not use ChatGPT or any other Artificial Intelligence (AI) in drafting Dáil speeches or in drafting responses to Parliamentary Questions.

AI Serving the Public is one of the pillars of the National AI Strategy, AI – Here for Good. I have an ambition that AI is used, where appropriate, to deliver innovation in public service delivery in my Department. Any use of generative AI in my Department is in line with the advice of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform who issued interim guidelines on the use of AI in the public service in January 2024, and the National Cyber Security Centre who issued cyber security guidance for Public Service Bodies in June 2023.
