Councillors back AI policy to protect personal data of residents

PERSONAL data of residents in Flintshire will not be processed using artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot.

- 

Flintshire County Council's Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee has recommended that Cabinet adopt an AI policy that protects residents by restricting how and in which situations AI can be used by the authority.

Personal data will not be input into AI systems and each individual will be responsible for ensuring AI is used appropriately. The authority will also put safeguards in place to ensure it can end agreements if serious data breaches arise.
