I thank the Member for her interest in AI, because her questions for written answer are also helping inform me. AI clearly has huge potential, but it comes with challenges, and people have concerns about it. It is therefore important that we address AI's potential and its challenges. In my previous role, I was responsible for the public-sector transformation board. Something that became clear to me was that there was significant interest in digital transformation projects. The Executive agreed to conduct a digital landscape review to take a wider look at the Executive's needs. I am aware that different Departments are undertaking proof-of-concept projects in the area, and those projects will be really important for informing how we can best utilise AI and grasp the opportunities.
