Asylum: Artificial Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department uses AI tools to help determine asylum decisions.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Home Office is investing in innovative techniques, including AI, to explore how we can improve productivity and continue to maintain order in the asylum system. AI technology does not make decisions on Asylum applications, instead, it helps analyse data and provides insightful information that can further inform choices. These tools are used in line with the ‘human in the loop’ principle. The Home Office does not currently use AI software to transcribe asylum interviews or other components of the asylum decision making process.
