The humanitarian crisis ICE/CBP are causing by rapidly deporting immigrants who've not been back to their home countries since they were infants.

For many immigrants they're entire support system is in the US and they don't know/have relatives in their home countries.

In the UK things get even stranger. UK citizens who were deported by the US get zero support from the US or UK.

But immigrants deported by the UK get a stipend to smooth their exit from the UK.

We've published a new legal opinion, raising questions over the legality of the use of AI tools in the UK asylum system.

Applicants aren't being informed of their use by decision-makers, nor being given the opportunity to correct errors that might be made in AI generated summaries.

Home Office use of AI in asylum cases likely to be unlawful, legal opinion finds

The Home Office’s failure to inform asylum applicants that AI tools are being used in their assessments is likely to be unlawful, according to a legal opinion, published today.

We need an immediate ban on the use of AI tools in the UK asylum process.

There are many ways to clear the Home Office’s backlog of asylum cases and raise standards – these tools are not the answer.

The UK government must not automate the hostile environment for migrants with AI.

Ban AI tools in asylum decision making

Take action! What’s the problem? The Home Office is using two AI tools: The Asylum Case Summarisation (ACS) tool uses ChatGPT-4 to summarise asylum interview transcripts. The Asylum Policy Search (APS) tool summarises country Policy and Information Notes (CPINs), guidance documents, and Country of Origin Information (COI) reports. The Home Office’s own evaluation revealed that 9% of the ACS AI-generated summaries were so flawed they had to be removed from the pilot. It also found that 23% of caseworkers lacked full confidence in the tools’ outputs.

Asylum applicants aren't being told that AI is used in decision-making.

The legal opinion finds that, as a matter of procedural fairness, this is likely to be unlawful.

It could breach data protection, as applicants don't have the opportunity to correct inaccurate summaries of personal data.

“Technology can assist decision-making, but it cannot undermine the careful human judgment required in asylum cases.

Where AI tools are used without adequate safeguards, there is a real risk that unlawful or unfair decisions may result.

If AI tools are influencing asylum decisions, there must be full transparency about how those systems operate and how their outputs are used."

The failure to inform asylum applicants of the use of AI in decision-making is likely UNLAWFUL.

A new legal opinion for ORG finds that the use of AI tools by the UK Home Office doesn't meet legal obligations nor standards in the AI Playbook.

We need full transparency to ensure lawful and fair decisions.

AI tools create a new text of interviews and material such as country of origin information.

In the UK Home Office’s evaluation, 9% of AI summaries were so flawed they had to be removed.

There's a significant risk that asylum decisions will be based upon and impaired by material errors of fact.

#WilliamHague is odd. At 16, he was an awkward right-winger at the #ConservativeParty conference. He was similarly gawky as a by-election winner in 1988 and by the time he retired as Tory leader aged 40, he was still often #cringetastic.

A decade later, Hague re-emerged as elder statesman-like Foreign Sec to young #DavidCameron. He had been reborn as a perma-60yo establishment stereotype.

Sadly, #CamillaTominey's interview sheds no light on who he really is.
