Question 1 – "We are writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
We are conducting research into the UK public sector's readiness to harness the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in light of the government's AI Opportunities Action Plan.
Our research aims to understand the current state of AI adoption, infrastructure, and skills development within UK public sector departments and agencies.
We are particularly interested in exploring: •AI Strategies and Implementation: The existence and implementation of AI strategies aligned with the national action plan. •Data and Infrastructure:
The availability of robust data and infrastructure to support AI initiatives, including considerations around data residency, sovereignty, and security. •Risk Management and Ethics:Measures in place to mitigate risks associated with AI, including bias, data protection, and transparency. •Skills and Training: Efforts to upskill the public sector workforce to effectively utilise AI technologies.
We are producing educational documentary material aimed at informing and supporting the UK public sector in its AI journey.
