The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has been questioned about its use of AI and machine learning in reviewing legal professional privilege (LPP). The requests specifically ask about the use of AI in determining whether seized materials are covered by LPP and the criteria used in deciding when to use AI in this context. The CPS has been asked to confirm whether it uses AI/machine learning to conduct privilege reviews in investigations and/or prosecutions, which AI/machine learning system/platfom the CPS is using, and how the process is supervised. The requests also ask for any relevant briefing notes, reports, plans, evaluations, summaries, minutes, training manuals, policies, and staff educational materials.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is a government organization responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in England and Wales. It was established in 1986 as an independent public prosecution service.
