Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what artificial intelligence services or tools are used by their department; and whether the department has a contract with each provider of those services.

Artificial intelligence covers a broad range of capabilities, including data analytics, machine learning, automation and newer generative AI tools. These capabilities are widely embedded within modern software and digital services used across government, including HM Treasury. Specific Generative AI tools broadly used by Treasury officials are Copilot365 and internal AI tools such as HMT-GPT, which are built using the Microsoft Azure service and have been assured to the appropriate security standards and approved for official use.

The department holds appropriate commercial contracts and licensing arrangements with suppliers covering the use of these systems and services, including where they incorporate AI.
