AI & technology in children’s social care: Call for evidence

For this call for evidence we are using the definition of Artificial Intelligence used in the Artificial Intelligence Playbook for the UK Government (HTML) - GOV.UK, this includes General Generative AI, Transcription tools, AI assistants, chat bots, Co-Pilots etc.:

“An AI system is a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments. Different AI systems vary in their levels of autonomy and adaptiveness after deployment.”

When we refer to Digital Technologies, we are referring to the wider digital tools and technologies available to Social Workers beyond the core Case Management System. This could include: storyteller apps, Child/families voice capturing tools, etc.

N.B. – There is a question on 'Single Views' (digital tools/services that brings together data on an individual from a number of sources/services) at the end of this Call for Evidence.
