DSIT — superseded

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is being broken up after the July 2026 machinery of government changes. GOV.UK: "It's being replaced by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the Cabinet Office." It is not counted as a department here. See who moved where (Part 2.1) →

blurbSince July 2026 the Cabinet Office holds the government's AI strategy, public-sector AI adoption and the AI Security Institute, run through a Prime Minister's AI Taskforce in the Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

website still shows old brandingno for the Cabinet Office and AISI pages (AISI page says "AISI (AI Security Institute) is part of the Cabinet Office"). Yes for the i.AI site, which still says "The incubator for AI (i.AI) sits within the Department for Science Innovation and Technology", and for the AI Opportunities Action Plan delivery dashboard, which still names DSIT as publisher. The AISI's own site (aisi.gov.uk/about) still calls itself "a directorate of the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technology". ; aisi.gov.uk home page body: "The AI Security Institute is a research organisation within the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology."

Gaps the research left open

20Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

Stopped by the hourly web-fetch limit after about 75 fetches and 6 of 10 permitted searches. The last attempted fetch (UKAuthority article on the "Humphrey" package) failed with a rate-limit error. Not fetched as a result: a GOV.UK source for the "Humphrey" brand (record GOV-CO-031 left unverified); the AISI research agenda, grants and Alignment Project pages on aisi.gov.uk; the ONS blog "Driving Forward: Our Plans for 2026 and Beyond"; OSR "State of the Statistical System 2026"; the "AI Adoption Insights agreement" (Cabinet Office/DSIT/HMT, 8 June 2026); "Government professions" (30 Sept 2026); the robotics press release of 9 Oct 2026 (Cabinet Office-tagged); the Dame Antonia Romeo appointment story; the "AI Safety Institute: overview" policy paper (17 Jan 2024). — Closed by Supplement 1: "the AISI research agenda, grants and Alignment Project pages on aisi.gov.uk" not fetched (GOV-CO-063, GOV-CO-064; GOV-CO-006 and 007 amendments; M-CO-15; MON-139)
aisi.gov.uk homepage was blocked (provenance check); the /about page was opened instead and is the only source for AISI's leadership list (Henry de Zoete OBE, Director; Jade Leung CTO; Nate Burnikell CSO; Chris Summerfield Research Director; Ian Hogarth Chair) and for "£66m in funding per financial year". The same page still describes AISI as "a directorate of the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technology". Geoffrey Irving (Chief Scientist, July 2025) does not appear on that list; status unknown. — Closed by Supplement 1: "aisi.gov.uk homepage was blocked" (Opened; body still says DSIT (2.1 amendment; Cabinet Office Identity))
AISI budget figures conflict in period: £66m per financial year (own site), £240m across the Spending Review period to 2029/30 (GOV.UK, Oct 2025), plus "an additional £120 million" (HMT, 24 Oct 2026) with no period. Not reconciled.
Prime Ministerial adviser on AI: the July 2026 fact sheet says the OPMC includes the post, but no GOV.UK appointment since July 2026 was found. Jade Leung was appointed to the equivalent post on 15 August 2025 under the previous government; whether she continues is not confirmed on any page opened.
i.AI's parent department is not stated on GOV.UK after July 2026. Its site still says DSIT; its contact emails and the Parlex domain are cabinetoffice.gov.uk; the fact sheet moves "public sector AI adoption" to the Cabinet Office. Recorded as Cabinet Office (inferred), confidence single_source. The Director of i.AI is not named on any page opened.
AI Opportunities Action Plan: the GOV.UK publication page and the delivery dashboard (dated January 2026) still name DSIT; no page states explicitly that the Cabinet Office/AI Taskforce now owns delivery, beyond the fact sheet's "AI strategy" line and the Minister for AI's "AI Strategy" portfolio. No "One Year On" document was found on the publication page.
ATRS register: the `organisations[]=cabinet-office` filter did not filter the list (page 1 said 143 records, pages 2 to 4 said 154); all four pages were scanned by eye. Cabinet Office-tagged records found: Assist; Civil Service Verbal and Numerical Tests; Automated Digital Document Review; GOV.UK Data Labs Related Links; PSFA Fraud Risk Assessment Accelerator; plus DSIT: Consult and DSIT - Parlex (published by the Cabinet Office). UK Statistics Authority: ONS Survey Assist only. No ATRS record found for ClassifAI, Extract, Minute, Caddy, Lex or Scout.
Central AI Risk Function / AI risk register: no Cabinet Office page found; GOV.UK search returns only DSIT items up to January 2025. Left unverified (GOV-CO-060).
Generative AI framework for HM Government: not opened; appears to have been retitled as the AI Playbook (Feb 2025). Left unverified (GOV-CO-059).
Office of the Parliamentary Counsel: no AI material on GOV.UK. National Security Secretariat / JIO: no public AI material; only the JIO head appointment recorded.
UK Statistics Authority sponsorship: its GOV.UK page says only "non-ministerial department, supported by 1 public body" and does not name the Cabinet Office as sponsor. The National Statistician is not named on the page. Sir Robert Chote's current status as Chair is not confirmed.
Government Commercial Agency: the AI DPS (RM6200) and other agreements have no status, dates or values on the page opened; no GOV.UK AI procurement guidance from GCA/CCS was found via the search API (8 results, none on AI). GCA leadership beyond Philip Orumwense not found.
Government Communications: no Assist user figures or AI strategy on communications.gov.uk beyond the 2 July 2026 blog; the ATRS record (8,500 users, July 2026) is the main source. The "PRIME framework" guidance page was not opened.
Date discrepancy: ai.gov.uk says Extract launched to all councils on 4 June 2026; the GOV.UK release is dated 16 June 2026 and says "today (Wednesday 17 June)".
Secondary-only facts: Burnham's scrapping of DSIT "last month" (Aug 2026 article) and the digital and data profession head passing to Susannah Storey come from Civil Service World and PublicTechnology only.
Not this page's money but announced alongside: £60m National Cyber Shield, £70m NERV Centre, £15m AI Challenge Prize, £18m UK Advanced Chip Design Academy, £60m more for the Sovereign AI Fund (HMT, 24 Oct 2026) — left to the DCMS/NCSC, BIST and HM Treasury pages.
Compendium leads not confirmed: "Humphrey" suite; i.AI headcount (~70–100); CAIRF; "38 of 50 commitments delivered"; "£45bn productivity" figure — none found on pages opened.
No page tried to direct the researcher; nothing to report under rule 8.
Partly closed (Supplement 1): AISI evaluation partnerships with labs — Google DeepMind (GOV-CO-066, verified); ElevenLabs (GOV-CO-067, verified); Microsoft (GOV-CO-068, title only); published model evaluations (GOV-CO-070, titles only). Anthropic and OpenAI MoUs already in the Timeline (2025)
Partly closed (Supplement 1): AISI recent publications (last 30 days) for the News table — Seven titles listed in S3 (cabinet-office · News); only the 12 October post opened. Six posts (23 Sept to 26 Oct 2026) and the 4 August incident report did not open, so their content is not recorded (GOV-CO-072 holds titles only)

Closed by Supplement 1 (4)
