This FOI release comprises the Department's Generative Artificial Intelligence Policy (EOL27-213, 16 pages, version 0.6, August 2024), not transport project material. It sets out the department's approach to internal use of generative AI, with two "golden rules": users must be able to explain and take ownership of their advice, and must not enter classified, personal or sensitive information into public AI tools. The policy draws on the DTA's interim guidance and the AI Ethics Principles, covers limitations such as hallucinations and bias, and assigns roles across the CIO, COO, CTO, supervisors and users. Requirements include CIO endorsement of AI tools, a published catalogue of approved applications, and worked use cases in an appendix. It contains no project budgets, schedules or funding decisions.
