My Department does not currently use any Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies including agentic AI. My Department recently completed a proof of concept with EY on the viability of using AI, using Microsoft Co-Pilot on housing data. This was completed at no cost to the Department. The lessons learned from this pilot project will be utilised in the future. At present, my Department is finalising the AI policy that outlines the framework for the legal, secure and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the Department.
