Answer

I refer the Member to the attached appendix which sets out artificial intelligence tools and platforms commissioned by Customs since 23 November 2023. I am advised that, to protect commercial sensitivity and sensitive investigative activities and tools, Customs is unable to provide information relating to contract values and certain AI tools used by Customs.
