How much of Ministry of Justice’s baseline is being invested into artificial intelligence, if any?
Answered by
Hon Paul Goldsmith
List MP · National Party · Minister of Justice
Answer
I am advised that the Ministry of Justice has approved baseline funding for software incorporating artificial intelligence functionality, including Copilot licenses (for example, $1.171 million in 2025/26). However, broader AI-enabled capability is typically delivered as part of wider digital investments and is not separately budgeted or reported as a distinct category of expenditure.
