On today’s episode of The Confluence:

  • A Pittsburgh couple questions if an artificial intelligence tool used by Allegheny County’s Department of Human Services played a part in the removal of their baby and deeming their child at risk of harm due to both parents having developmental disabilities. We talk to AP investigative correspondent Sally Ho, who co-reported the piece with Garance Burke, about how this and similar tools are affecting families. (8:46 - 17:13)
