Approved Artificial Intelligence Tools

Details of the request

This is a request made under the Official Information Act 1982. To better understand the government's use of artificial intelligence (AI), I request the following information:

1. A list of all AI tools that are currently approved for use by staff at your agency.
2. Any documentation outlining the conditions, guidelines, or policies attached to the approval and use of these tools.
3. For each approved tool that is not free to use, please provide the number of paid licenses or subscriptions the agency currently holds. I confirm that I do not require any commercially sensitive information (e.g. licence costs), merely the number of authorised users.
4. Copies of all completed Cloud Risk Assessments and Privacy Impact Assessments (or equivalent documents) for each of the approved AI tools.

If any part of this request is declined, please provide the specific grounds for refusal under the Act. I would prefer to receive this information in a machine-readable electronic format. Thank you for your assistance.
