00:00A vision of justice designed for the world as it is, not as it once was.
00:08And I think that that is where technology comes in.
00:13It can help us smash through delays, cut complexity, and free up people to do what they do best.
00:23And last year we piloted an AI tool in the probation service, Justice Transcribe.
00:31It records meetings between officers and offenders, removing the need for handwritten notes to be typed up later,
00:37so staff can concentrate on turning offenders' lives around.
00:42That's what they want to do.
00:44And the results have been transformational.
00:47I want to see more AI initiatives like these.
00:54So we're going to invest more in our in-house Justice AI unit, a specialist team within my department,
01:01forward deployed to the front line, working with staff to tackle the challenges that they face.
01:07Over £12 million in additional funding in the next financial year will expand our AI capabilities,
01:15putting this powerful tool, finally, in the hands of staff.
