<p>The department does not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML)
in the true definition across its services. The department has an Analytical Platform
which spots trends and create links between data sets; however, this wouldn’t fall
under either category. A case study on the Analytical Platform can be found here:</p><p>

</p><p>With its analytical platform, the department has built a set of tools that
provide the basis for the potential development of AI/ML tools, and alongside this,
we are undertaking a project that builds on the Office for Artificial Intelligence
guidance to develop practical tools and governance to support the ethical development
of any future AL/ML project. The Government’s Data Ethics Framework and ‘Guide to
Using AI in the Public Sector’, alongside other guidance are available on GOV.UK,
to support ethical and safe use of algorithms in the public sector.</p><p> </p><p>The
Department continues to review where artificial intelligence or machine learning would
add value to undertaking its duties. In most circumstances we use software in place
of machine learning or Artificial Intelligence.</p>
