Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he plans to complete an algorithmic transparency report using the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard for uses of AI in the Lighthouse programme.

DWP is already working with the Centre for Data, Ethics and Innovation to ensure the Department uses AI in a safe, ethical, and transparent way. This will include leveraging the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard (ATRS) to identify and apply governance where appropriate.

The Department has completed elements of the ATRS for AI use cases in the Department and we are working to complete the full standard. This includes those cases under the Lighthouse programme.
