Note de recherche
VERIFIED 2026-09-22 from gov.uk: 'Kanishka Narayan was appointed Minister of State (Minister for Artificial Intelligence) jointly in the Cabinet Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Science and Trade on 20 July 2026.' IMPORTANT CHANGE: DSIT no longer exists — gov.uk carries the banner 'This organisation is changing. 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.' Any guidance that names 'DSIT ministers' is out of date.
