Home Office use of AI in asylum cases could be unlawful, legal experts warn
Exclusive: Caseworkers use AI to summarise asylum interviews and to search for information about country of origin
The IndependentThe legal opinion analysis leads to the conclusion that, in significant respects, the UK AI Playbook is not being followed, or that there are serious concerns that it is not. Ex, there has been a failure to assess quantitatively the extent to which the Asylum policy search tool (APS) produces inaccurate outputs.
The opinion found that in the Asylum case summarisation (ACS), there is insufficient information about what accuracy means in this context, the extent of inaccuracy, and the benchmarking the Government is using, as well as the absence of the ability to cross-reference the summarised output from the ACS and APS.
