Serious Fraud Office: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Solicitor General, for what purposes the Serious Fraud Office has used AI in the last 12 months.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the heart of the Government’s plan to kickstart an era of economic growth, transform how we deliver public services, and boost living standards for working people across the country.
During the past 12 months, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has been trialling the use of Technology Assisted Review (TAR), utilising AI, on a live criminal case. The trial demonstrated that TAR could help meet legal disclosure obligations more efficiently.
The trial adhered to relevant disclosure guidelines and officials are still making the decisions on what is in fact relevant and what is disclosed.
Following the success of the trial, the SFO is planning to use TAR in more SFO cases in the future.
