Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 October 2023
379. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if his Department has a policy on the use of artificial intelligence; and if any Departmental functions are assisted by language model-based chatbots (details supplied). [42819/23]
View answerMy Department does not use ChatGPT or any other Artificial Intelligence (AI) to conduct business. As with all new technologies, my Department is assessing the potential of AI in the delivery of services, in line with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidance on its usage in the public service, and works closely with the NCSC which encompasses the State's national/governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-IE).
My Department does not comment on operational security matters as it would be inappropriate to disclose information that may in any way assist those with malicious intent.
