✨ AI Set to Transform UK Public Sector Administration
posted 18 Nov 2023
In
an effort to modernize public services, the UK government plans to
introduce artificial intelligence in sectors like security, education,
and healthcare, targeting the reduction of routine, time-consuming
tasks. This approach is set to refocus employees on their key
responsibilities.
It
has been estimated by officials that a significant amount of time,
equating to a whole workday each week, is spent by teachers on tasks
such as data entry and reporting. Furthermore, AI is expected to provide
support in complex tasks where human specialists face challenges.
“Our
public servants are among the best in the world, but we don’t help them
or taxpayers when a day every week is wasted on admin,” Jeremy Hunt,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, explained.
The
anticipated implementation of AI in police departments is expected to
free up to 750,000 hours weekly across the country. Despite the
efficiency gains, there is a split in public opinion about the
integration of AI into the workforce.
