The UK government will trial large language models to help ministers analyze and draft documents as part of a push to overhaul public services using AI.
In a speech on Thursday, deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden called the technology a potential “silver bullet” to reduce the burden of routine admin tasks and make civil servants more productive.
More worryingly, perhaps, is Dowden’s idea of crime-prevention algorithms that could “direct police to where they are most needed” and “spot patterns of criminality to discover culprits quicker than ever.”
“This is not about replacing real people with robots, it is about removing spirit-sapping, time-wasting admin and bureaucracy freeing public servants to do the important work that they do best and saving taxpayers billions of pounds in the process,” Dowden claimed.
The UK government has hired data scientists, engineers, and machine learning experts for its Incubator for AI, dubbed i.AI, a group dedicated to exploring how the technology can improve public services.
i.AI is piloting ten different initiatives, including using algorithms to flag fraudulent transactions in pharmacies and moving asylum claimants out of hotels more efficiently.

I’ve got a dollar says that one of those solutions is to cut out or simplify the time wasting, spirit-sapping bureaucratic procedures rather than having the “AI” do them for you.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
