Information management.
WHERE IT HELPS
Searching and retrieving records Redaction support, with review Summarising for disclosure requests Categorising and indexing
FOR REDACTION
AI can identify likely personal data for redaction.
A person must verify every redaction before release.
A missed redaction is a disclosure that cannot be undone.
WHAT GOES WRONG
Personal data missed in an unexpected format Context that identifies someone indirectly Over-redaction, obscuring information that should be public
FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION WORK
Searching and summarising is useful.
The decision on disclosure is a legal judgement and must be human.
FOR RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Categorising and indexing large archives, making them searchable.
Genuinely valuable for institutions with substantial paper legacies.
WHAT TO ESTABLISH
Where records are processed Whether that is permitted for the classification of material involved
FOR SENSITIVE OR CLASSIFIED MATERIAL
Do not use external services. That should not require stating, and it does.
