Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure AI is implemented appropriately within, and is transparently used by, the Home Office.

The Home Office is committed to the safe, effective and ethical use of AI. AI tools are subject to ongoing evaluation and assurance with scrutiny proportionate to their potential impact and risk. Staff are provided with training and guidance to help them use AI tools safely, securely and effectively.

Home Office staff remain accountable for decisions and work supported by AI, and appropriate human oversight must be maintained throughout its use.

The Home Office is committed to publishing records on the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard Hub and has a process in place for projects to complete records.
