    "notes": "The Crown Prosecution Service published a record on the government's algorithmic transparency register on 28 August 2025 for a Correspondence Drafting Tool. The record describes the tool as in a beta or pilot phase with about 30 users, with numbers expected to grow as it is rolled out, and gives no start date. It helps CPS staff draft external letters and emails from CPS templates, pre-filling content from case management data and simplifying legal language, using Microsoft OpenAI GPT-family models deployed in the UK South region, with rule-based logic mapping templates and prompts. The record names GPT-4 (version 0125) as the model but lists \"gpt-4o\" in its usage data. The supplier is named as NTT Data UK Limited, a CPS digital delivery partner. The record says the tool \"does not make decisions in the prosecution process\", that staff review and finalise every draft through a review and approval process, and that a data protection impact assessment and an AI ethics and security assessment were approved.",
