The Department of Foreign Affairs has developed a policy on the use of Generative AI in line with advice and guidance issued by Government and the National Cyber Security Centre. ICT related policies are available to all staff.

The Department is actively exploring the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence and the various policy considerations that arise. The Department has not used AI in the preparation of legislation or statutory instruments. There are no agencies under my Department's aegis.
