Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what purposes Active Travel England has used artificial intelligence in the last 12 months.

Active Travel England (ATE) currently does not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for any formal decision making. ATE uses some AI tools to summarize large sets of publicly available information and is exploring the use of AI to support administrative tasks relating to case management.

ATE does use machine learning and advanced data science techniques in its analytical work, but these techniques lie outside of the commonly accepted definition of AI.
