The Allegheny Family Screening Tool was specifically designed to predict the risk that a child will be placed in foster care in the two years after the family is investigated.
The pioneering AI program is designed to assess a family’s risk level when they are reported for child welfare concerns in Allegheny County.

The AP’s previous story highlighted data points used by the algorithm that can be interpreted as proxies for race.
