I thank the deputy First Minister for her response. She knows that there are many conflicting accounts of how AI is used. People in the public sector in particular want reassurance that their data will be protected. What is the Executive Office doing to ensure that, particularly in public-sector use, there is human oversight of anything sensitive to do with data collection?
