A brief excerpt of a discussion about introducing AI-based assessment into care processes. The speakers debate whether algorithmic, data-driven tools can reduce human bias and increase consistency in categorising care needs, while acknowledging the ongoing need for skilled professional judgment for mental capacity evaluations.

Was there an argument then for bringing in artificial intelligence based assessment where we remove that objectivity and bias and just assess the facts and data on a consistent basis?
There is an argument for it, and it will ruffle people up and it will ruffle feathers. However, if you can find the balance of yes, there's very skilled professionals out there who will assess mental capacity. But then if you look at the factors that you have to hit for certain levels of, you know, how dependent are you on xyz? And then that will give you your category. That is a data process. Mental capacity isn't necessarily a data process, but the other factors are. And there's so much in there that we do need skilled professionals.
