Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the use of AI tools to generate legal correspondence and documentation.

While government has published general principles and guidance on the responsible use of AI, focused on use within government and the public sector, it has not made a specific assessment of the use of AI tools to generate legal correspondence and documentation in the wider public domain or in private sector legal practice.

Existing guidance and resources on the AI Knowledge Hub, which includes the AI Playbook, are intended to support public sector organisations to adopt AI safely, responsibly and effectively, by setting out principles, legal and ethical considerations, and practical support rather than evaluating or endorsing particular uses or tools.
