The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department's policy paper entitled AI action plan for justice, published on 31 July 2025, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the embedding of AI in the criminal justice system on the personalised rehabilitation of offenders.

Answered by Jake Richards

AI shows great potential to help deliver swifter, fairer, and more accessible justice for all and this includes improving rehabilitation outcomes. The Ministry of Justice’s AI Action Plan for Justice sets out our ambition to target high-value use cases, which includes enabling personalised education and rehabilitation (e.g. tailored training for our workforce and offenders).
