AI tool used to recover £500m lost to fraud, government says

A new AI tool used by the UK government has led to the recovery of almost £500m lost to fraud in the past year, with a significant portion linked to Covid-19 related fraudulent activities. The tool will now be licensed to other countries such as the US and Australia. This move comes after civil liberties campaigners criticized the government's use of AI in anti-fraud efforts. The recovered funds will be reinvested to recruit more nurses, teachers, and police officers in the UK.
