A plan for how the government can harness new technologies to transform public services has been set out by the Minister for Implementation, Oliver Dowden. In a speech at the start of London Tech Week today (10 June), the Minister launched a new guide to help government embrace artificial intelligence and an online marketplace to support tech start-ups sell to the public sector. These measures accompany a new Technology Innovation Strategy, setting out the government's approach to enabling widespread adoption of new technologies across the public sector. The new AI Guide will be used across government to help departments implement new opportunities for AI, such as how to make cancer diagnosis more reliable and reduce fraud, in an ethical and safe way. The guide also brings together, for the first time, research on how artificial intelligence is already being used by the public sector to save money and improve services.
