The Chairperson of the International Protection Appeals Tribunal has issued a new Guideline on the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence by Tribunal Members.
The purpose of this Guideline is to assist Tribunal Members in understanding the opportunities and risks associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’), including generative AI systems.
The Guideline seeks to protect the integrity of the appeals process, promote confidence in the administration of justice, ensure compliance with data protection obligations, and to provide practical guidance regarding appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI in Tribunal work.
Nothing in the Guideline affects the statutory independence of the Tribunal and its Members in the exercise of the functions of the Tribunal pursuant to section 61 of the 2015 Act and Article 39 of Council Directive 2005/85/EC on minimum standards on procedures in Member States for granting and withdrawing refugee status.
