  1. Love this. We get incessant bad news about how crap government is – so far play to getting something positive done.

    Good work from civil service and looking at licensing it to other countries.

  2. “AI” is a very imprecise term. It IMHO seems likely that this tool was not a Large Language Model, not ChatGPT or similar. Yet it will be used to hype those. The UK government is blindly chasing all things AI, and this will have downsides.

  3. So, Post Office Horizon disaster turned up a notch or two…AI is truly magic and will make a few of us very rich indeed, huzzah.

  4. > The savings have been made by cross-referencing information held by different government departments, as well as using a new AI tool

    Aka more dragnet
