## Scope

Cambridge, United Kingdom. The shared planning service's own FAQ for the proposed submission consultation says it received a range of feedback on the use of AI to summarise comments during the previous consultation, and that at this stage comments will only be AI summarised if the respondent selects it in the consultation system; no other comments will be summarised using AI. It shows a planning authority narrowing its own use after public feedback; it does not say the tool was inaccurate or measure anything.

## What this means

Public acceptance, not only capability, limits how far planners hand consultation analysis to AI.

## What it does not show yet

One authority's decision, explained by feedback rather than by any measured error.

## How to verify it yourself
