. @elliotmjones.bsky.social and I lay out four recommendations to strengthen the foundations for AI in the public sector

1. Establish a What Works Centre for AI in Public Services
2. Strengthen the Algorithmic Transparency Reporting Standard

In particular, I welcomed this crucial finding making it into the report summary: "there is no systematic mechanism for bringing together and disseminating the learning from all the pilot activity across government."

Time for a What Works Centre for AI in the public sector?

Technology provides an opportunity beyond the technology itself. If AI is a “golden opportunity”, as Starmer put it, it is as a catalyst for fundamental service redesign, placing people at the centre of public service delivery. @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social
