Answer
The reform and transformation of public services is a key element of our proposed Programme for Government. Critical to that, will be the need to identify opportunities for leveraging AI to enhance decision-making and improve efficiency.
We are establishing an AI Unit, and our Chief Scientific and Technology Advisor is already working with a range of key stakeholders to develop a Regional Strategy for Science and Technology to drive this work forward.
