My colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform has responsibility for policy on artificial intelligence. His Department has developed Interim Guidelines for Use of AI in the Public Service. These were published earlier this year and are available at www.gov.ie/en/publication/2127d-interim-guidelines-for-use-of-ai/.
