AI Action Plan Explorer
The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is at the forefront of responsible AI adoption across government. One year on from publishing the AI Action Plan for Justice, this explorer highlights progress against our ambitions. We are committed to being transparent about how we use AI and will continue to work with industry, academia, civil society and the wider public sector to realise its benefits safely and responsibly.
This explorer will not be updated in real-time. It represents a snapshot of our Year One progress (30 July 2025 – 30 July 2026) against the AI Action Plan for Justice, accurate as of 24 September 2026.
In Year One, we committed to establishing strong foundations, building capability and delivering early wins.
