Exclusive: Information commissioner tells government it risks contempt of court over response to freedom of information requests

The UK government risks contempt of court unless it improves its response to requests for transparency over the use of artificial intelligence to vet welfare claims, the information commissioner has said.

Child poverty campaigners have said the impact on children of the AI tools could be “devastating” if benefits are suspended.
