Your application
The application process is an opportunity to tell us about yourself—and show us what you can do. Therefore, if you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help with your application, it is important that use of AI is done in a way that is secure and does not distort your application.
How you can and cannot use AI
AI cannot be used during the online tests stage of your application, which need to be undertaken without any third-party assistance. You will be asked to declare that you understand that AI software cannot be used during the online tests.
If you choose to use it in your application, as you are about to apply for a job in national security it is important that you protect your privacy. When using AI, avoid entering the names of organisations and your personal data (like your name, date of birth, address, etc.). Take steps to delete your data after you no longer require it being in the AI platform. We would suggest looking at guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre.
There is widely available guidance online about how to use AI prompts effectively, the weaknesses and limitations of AI including its propensity to make up information. Whether you choose to use AI or not, please ensure your application showcases the real you, is accurate and error free.
