This report from UK think tank the Social Market Foundation breaks down existing civil service AI workstreams.

This briefing breaks down existing civil service workstreams related to AI and is designed as a follow-up to our 2024 report ‘“’In the Blink of an AI”.

We reviewed existing literature and case studies and combined them with original Freedom of Information requests to understand how AI is being deployed within the civil service, and how recent progress on facilitating AI adoption in the public sector can be sustained.
