DSIT — superseded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) →

website still shows old brandingno on the organisation page (it shows the new name and the four high-profile groups). Yes on many of its publications: the GDS page still gives an FOI address for the "Department for Science, Innovation and Technology"; ATRS records for GDS tools are titled "DSIT: ..."; the GDS Responsible AI Advisory Panel contact is responsibleaipanel@dsit.gov.uk; ATRS contact is algorithmic-transparency@dsit.gov.uk; the i.AI site (https://ai.gov.uk/) still says "The incubator for AI (i.AI) sits within the Department for Science Innovation and Technology".

Gaps the research left open

14Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

The full text of the Report on Copyright and AI is 144,000 characters; only the first part was read, and the second fetch (offset 100,000) ended mid-section. Sections on digital replicas, labelling, Creative Content Exchange and the IPO's role beyond Section A were not read in full. Foreword signatories not found. The impact assessment was not opened.
No GOV.UK page was found for a separate "AI content labelling working group"; the only labelling commitment found is the report's proposal to work with industry (GOV-DCMS-050).
The Creative Industries Sector Plan PDF (80 pages) was not read; its AI commitments are not recorded beyond the Creative Content Exchange and CoSTAR lines in the press release.
i.AI's parent after July 2026 is not stated on any page opened: the GDS about page says i.AI joined GDS in January 2025; ai.gov.uk still says DSIT; the fact sheet moves "public sector AI adoption" to the Cabinet Office without naming i.AI. Parlex, Redbox and Consult are recorded with parent unverified.
Met Office's sponsor after July 2026 not found (its page still says DSIT). UK Export Finance's ATRS record is filed under DSIT though UKEF is a ministerial department.
The GOV.UK ATRS finder's `organisations[]` query parameter did not filter (returned 152 of 154 records). The working filter is the search API field `filter_algorithmic_transparency_record_organisation`, which returned 20 DSIT-tagged records (all recorded above) and 0 DCMS-tagged records.
Ministers' and officials' start dates were not verified (no appointment announcements opened). Lisa Nandy was Culture Secretary on 23 June 2025 and is Secretary of State on 28 October 2026.
"AI skills for civil servants" / TechTrack: no GOV.UK page by that name was found via the search API; the only GDS skills items found were the AI Accelerator Programme bootcamp (March 2025) and the "Artificial intelligence resources for the public sector" collection (2 June 2025, not opened).
UK Telecoms Innovation Network: a 2022 DSIT/DCMS competition page exists (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-telecoms-innovation-network-competition) but was not opened; no AI-in-telecoms programme page was found, so none is recorded.
Media literacy and AI: the DCMS search returned no media-literacy-and-AI publication; the AI Skills for Life and Work reports are the nearest item.
Ofcom's sponsorship line on GOV.UK was not opened; the fact sheet's "telecoms, media and online safety" line is the only sponsorship evidence here.
The Information Commission rename rests on document titles on the ICO's GOV.UK page; the ICO's own site was not opened.
Digital ID consultation closing date and outcome not found.
The "Artificial intelligence resources for the public sector" collection, "AI Opportunities Action Plan: One Year On", "Humphrey" press releases and the GDS blog posts were not opened.
