Question
Ben Obese-Jecty
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has she made on the design and pilot of AI tools to support asylum case working as part of the Asylum Transformation Programme.
Answer
Alex NorrisThe Asylum Case Summarisation (ACS) tool uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise asylum interview transcripts. The Asylum Policy Search (APS) tool is an AI search assistant that finds and summarises country policy information. The tools were designed as an aid for decision-makers to improve efficiency but do not, and cannot, replace any part of the decision-making process. APS has been rolled out and is accessible to all Asylum decision makers and ACS is in advances stages of development with a full roll out planned in the new year. Further tooling is being worked on including an asylum letter writing assistant for caseworkers.
