Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the use of AI tools to detect and prevent extremist recruitment activity on online platforms.

The government is delivering a fundamental reset of how we counter extremism ensuring we have the tools, capabilities, and partnerships to match the scale and nature of an evolving threat.

AI is being used for a range of purposes in the Home Office to improve business delivery as part of overall digital improvements in the department; We plan to continue to test and pilot how we can use AI, where appropriate to do so, to support effective and efficient operations.
