25647 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage: How much, if any, is the total budget in the Minister's departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, for the 2026/27 financial year on artificial intelligence- including costs on training staff, deploying systems, maintaining subscriptions and any other associated costs?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that many artificial intelligence tools are integrated into existing software and as such the cost of AI tools cannot be reasonably separated.
