The UK Home Office’s own evaluation reveals that 9% of AI-generated summaries were so flawed they had to be removed from the pilot.

And 23% of caseworkers lacked full confidence in the tools’ outputs.

Using these tools in critical situations without safeguarding, transparency and accountability could lead to fatal results.
