Prince William says UK homelessness ‘preventable’ with AI
Homelessness in the UK is “entirely preventable” thanks to AI-supported technology, Prince William told the London Tech Week conference on Wednesday.
The heir to the British throne spoke as his homeless charity, Homewards, launched the Homelessness Data Lab — a national collaboration it said can improve how data and technology flag “clear warning signs long before” someone loses their home.
This could involve the sharing of personal data on an individual’s finances, welfare benefits and health between different bodies, prompting some cautionary comments elsewhere at London Tech Week surrounding data privacy.
