A review of potential artificial intelligence use in parole decisions will be undertaken after a 'concerning' error in the case of a high-profile murderer.
Tasmania's justice department on Friday evening confirmed the review was occurring, three days after a parole condition of convicted killer Susan Neill-Fraser was deemed invalid.
