Labour accused of relying on 'AI hallucinated' information to reject asylum claims
Labour has been accused of relying on “artificial intelligence hallucination” to reject asylum claims.
The case related to a Moroccan woman and her child who fled her country after experiencing underage marriage and extreme violence, including rape.
The woman claimed asylum on the basis of fears she would be killed by her husband.
Her husband was a previously convicted criminal.
The Home Office refused her case, citing evidence from a purported independent document, a country policy information note, which confirmed Morocco would be safe for her.
However, the document could never be found, despite its use by a judge in rejecting her appeal.
The woman lodged a further appeal to a more senior court, where a judge raised concerns regarding the document.
In a decision made on July 14, the judge said: “It appears that no such CPIN has ever existed.
“No such document has been located in the public domain and moreover the Home Office’s country policy and information team has been unable to confirm its existence.
“It bears hallmarks consistent with the use of artificial intelligence.
"It may therefore transpire that references to country information note Morocco July 2021 in that letter are a result of an AI ‘hallucination’.
“If so that would represent an extremely serious failing on the part of the respondent (the Home Office).”
