4230 (2025). Reuben Davidson to the Minister for Digitising Government: What advice, if any, has she received regarding the use of DeepSeek AI in the public service, and how does that advice differ from advice regarding other GenAI products?

Hon Judith Collins: As the Minister for Digitising Government, I have not received any specific advice on DeepSeek. The Government Chief Information Security Officer (GCISO) is the government lead for information security matters. As the Minister for Digitising Government, I expect agencies to align with the recently published Responsible AI Guidance for the Public Service: GenAI.
