Answer
We have established an Office of AI and Digital and tasked the Chief Scientific and Technology Adviser (CSTA) with chairing a Task-and-Finish Group comprising representatives from government departments, industry and academia to scope out the remit of the Office.
The Task-and-Finish Group will present recommendations regarding the remit and requirements for the Office of AI and Digital, as well as a delivery plan. Resource allocation will be considered as part of this process.
