Powys County Council, GB builds AI-enabled system for expedited Fuel Support Scheme reviews
Powys County Council, GB AI-Enabled Fuel Support Reviews
The council's developers spent a year designing a platform for automated reviews of local applications to the national support program. Applicants meeting all of the scheme's criteria received automatic approvals from the system. Duplicate applications were filtered out by AI, while potentially fraudulent applications were sent for council review. Residents benefitted from an easy-to-use application for £200 payments, while the council saved money on administration costs.
