Are there any examples of AI tools being used effectively for data gathering from local authorities creating a less burdensome approach to gathering data, analysis or reporting?

Background

We are keen to hear about the cutting-edge approaches the research community is using which could have applications in MHCLG’s work. Particularly in ground-breaking evaluations, with a robust focus on impact and value for money. We are also interested in innovative techniques (such as preventative analytics) and data sharing.
