Written Questions: Government Responses

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of answers to written questions are researched or drafted using artificial intelligence tools and whether they have a specific policy regarding the use of artificial intelligence for such tasks.

Answer: The Government does not collect data on the proportion of answers to written questions that are either researched or drafted using artificial intelligence tools. There is no specific cross - Government policy guidance relating to questions, but the Government Digital Service has published the “Artificial Intelligence Playbook for the UK Government” document which sets out principles for the use of a wider range of artificial intelligence technologies safely, effectively and responsibly.
