It will be funny when they eventually decide the AI bureaucracy is the problem like they are blaming the civil service now. Nothing to do with their disastrous unworkable policies (Rwanda), pandering to the extreme elements of their party (Truss) or their complete ineptitude (pretty much everything else)…

One good thing that happened in recent years is the digital push and gov.uk websites. I have to say, getting a driving licence, renewing a passport, finding information on lots of topics has massively improved. Carry on with this, not wasting money on untested technology. Of course, that’s silly for me to say. The money will all go to friends of the party with nothing gained.

I wonder who they will get to build it (Fujitsu?)

They could wrongfully prosecute hundreds of more people much more efficiency with that technology. And bonus points for “the computer did it, not use” deniability.

I bet against it

So if the LLM doesn’t feel like doing its research properly then questions won’t be accurately answered? And the inbuilt bias of the AI will never be challenged because all of the references it chose to include will check out? Its blind spots becoming our blind spots? It’s idea of a criminal becoming our idea of a criminal?

No wonder politicians love it.
