My Department has an approved policy on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence which is based on recommendations from the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) Cyber Security Guidance on Generative AI for Public Sector Bodies and DPENDR’s Interim Guidelines for Use of AI in the Public Service.

Training is currently being provided to a small number of staff regarding possible use cases of Gen AI, including improved efficiency and productivity.

I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly.

Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
