38788 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations: How much, if any, was spent in the 2023/24 financial year in the Minister's departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, on artificial intelligence, including costs on training staff, deploying systems, maintaining subscriptions and any other associated costs?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: As this relates to a shared service provided to The Office of Treaty Settlements and Takutai Moana–Te Tari Whakatau by the Ministry of Justice, and there is no further relevant information, I refer the Member to my reply in WPQ 38739 (2026). The Ngāpuhi Investment Fund did not spend any money in the 2023/24 financial year on artificial intelligence, including costs on training staff, deploying systems, maintaining systems and any other associated costs.
