The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

There is an increasing potential for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate written material.  The Planning Inspectorate has recently published guidance on the use of AI: www.gov.uk/guidance/use-of-artificial-intelligence-in-casework-evidence (opens in new window)

Representations on the proposed main modifications that do not follow the advice on the use of AI are at risk of not being accepted.
