One year on from publishing the AI Action Plan for Justice, this explorer highlights progress against our ambitions.

Year 1 progress
In Year 1, we have begun to help leaders and staff understand and prepare for the wider workforce implications of AI. This includes exploring how AI may influence roles, skills, ways of working and organisational design, while ensuring the workforce is equipped to adapt as AI adoption continues to grow.
We have appointed workforce experts to help us shape our strategic approach to AI-related workforce impacts. This will enable people considerations to be central to organisational readiness activity for AI from the outset.
We have also strengthened our approach to identifying and managing workforce-related AI risks. This includes supporting responsible adoption from a people perspective and ensuring that workforce impacts are understood and addressed as new technologies are introduced within MOJ.
Year 2 priorities
In Year 2, we will accelerate workforce adoption of AI by embedding an MOJ AI Workforce Organisational Readiness Approach, providing a consistent framework for workforce adoption, change management and benefits realisation across business areas. We will also develop a clearer view of how AI will affect future workforce needs to inform longer-term workforce planning.
