government AI

The UK government is piloting “agentic” AI from Anthropic to help citizens navigate complex services, starting with employment. This initiative moves beyond basic chatbots to active assistance, aiming to bridge the gap between available information and user action. The project prioritizes safety through a “Scan, Pilot, Scale” approach, ensuring data sovereignty and building internal AI expertise to avoid vendor lock-in. This collaboration aims to set a benchmark for responsible public sector AI deployment.
