Goal and impact

With the Woo AI chat, we use the latest information and case law of the Woo internally. This allows us to expand our knowledge and further implement the Woo according to the latest legal requirements in the current implementation phase. Citizens and companies see this reflected in the quality and handling of a Woo request.

Considerations

The woo is new and constantly evolving. Information is scattered and cluttered. To meet legal standards, it is important to be aware of the right information. The Woo AI chat supports the municipality in this regard.

Human intervention

WooChat outcomes are always checked by our legal advisers and Woo Coordinator for quality assurance.

Risk management

Open AI is used which indexes resources selected by the NKOO. These sources are not supplemented by user information. This makes the risk very low. Users are trained by the provider and it is possible to participate in monthly webinairs to optimise the use of the AI chat.

Legal basis

Technical design

The user asks questions to the Chatbot (OpenAI). These questions are presented to OpenAI via WooChat. This means that questions from users reach OpenAI. This is not at the account level. OpenAI has committed not to use data passed as context for training its models. This has improved the privacy of questions asked.

OpenAI reads in sources. OpenAI's language model uses these sources to provide an answer. The information sent to OpenAI is destroyed after 30 days. The data is not used for training or improving the language model. Nor will the data be resold. However, data may be analysed to ensure quality.

  • Based on the text entered by the user, the algorithm recognises what question or request the user has. Once this topic is recognised, a conversation starts. Conversations in the chatbot fall under so-called 'conversational AI'. It is therefore not generative AI, like ChatGPT.
