PoliticsReport says AI is being embedded across Home Office in near-total secrecy

Open Rights Group says the Home Office uses AI in immigration work, including assessing asylum seekers’ ages, border surveillance and case prioritisation, with little public disclosure. It warns the tools may reproduce bias and calls for tighter regulation, transparency and accountability. The department says AI only assists staff and does not decide asylum claims.
