Answer

We recognise that building public confidence and trust is critical to the responsible adoption of AI and have approved the draft AI Strategy for public consultation. The Strategy includes a range of actions to support transparency and responsible use, including the proposed creation of a publicly available AI Register to improve consistency and public confidence in the use of AI across the public sector.

The draft Strategy will be available for public consultation, providing an opportunity for stakeholders and the wider public to inform its final development before seeking Executive agreement to publish.
