Mr Kyle added: “The publication of our AI Playbook today comes with a call to arms for tech specialists across the public sector – use the guidance we are sharing to put AI to work in your organisations at whiplash speed, so we can repair our broken public services together.”.
Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle, who is attending an international summit in Paris focused on regulating AI, said ministers want to use the technology to “save money, speed things up and, crucially, improve public services for people across the UK”.
The projects are among 14 examples of AI and algorithmic tools which ministers have revealed are being used to improve efficiency in the public sector.
Records of the projects were published as Mr Kyle travelled to Paris to meet world leaders, tech executives, academics and other experts as AI increasingly becomes a key geopolitical issue.
