The UK's recently announced AI Opportunity Plan makes the government's vision clear: investing heavily in AI will boost the country's economic competitiveness in the private sector while reducing costs and improving quality in public services.

According to the Alan Turing Institute's estimates, 84% of the Central Government's complex repetitive transactions could be automated to some degree with AI. The public sector now faces the challenge of figuring out how to actually leverage AI for these meaningful efficiency gains.

Whilst pilot programs help us learn about the technology, achieving real improvements requires implementing AI at scale. Different branches of AI enable new forms of automation, but meaningful impact will only come from integrating it as a capability within broader system transformations. Success depends on building new data-driven services with workflows that effectively incorporate AI. We want to dedicate our next session to discussing the practical big wins that could be realized in the next three years and the ways to get there. To achieve real change quickly, we must focus on concrete use cases that are viable today, not some distant future.
