Yesterday a group of us put our heads together to think about the questions that should be asked of Starmer's plans for AI in government - you might have seen this nod to it in Politico this morning. These are for journalists, politicians, and anyone with an interest in pro-democracy tech (1/3)
Labour’s escalating claims around the potential use of  AI in government are borne out of relatable constraints and welcome ambition for Britain but We are deeply concerned that in an effort to increase efficiency and find savings, the UK could end up wasting £100s of millions of public money in failed projects. This risks damaging public services - and ultimately holding Britain back -  rather than taking the opportunity to make them fit for the future. It might sound like a silver bullet but we can’t just shoehorn AI into existing services.  Here are 10 questions that we believe the Government needs to demonstrate it has answers to before signing away millions of pounds of taxpayer’s money with no break clause on the contracts if things go wrong
