A significant initiative is set to train over 400,000 civil servants in England and Wales on artificial intelligence technologies to boost their productivity. Spearheaded by Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden, this move comes amid workforce reductions through voluntary redundancy. Civil servants are encouraged to utilize AI to streamline their tasks. The training, starting this autumn, will familiarize officials with AI applications, significantly reducing the time spent on routine tasks and improving efficiency, as demonstrated in pilot programs by the Scottish government and the Department for Work and Pensions.
The new initiative aims to equip over 400,000 civil servants with AI skills, enhancing productivity amid a backdrop of significant workforce reductions.
The government emphasizes that tasks should be automated with AI wherever possible to ensure efficiency and quality of service in the civil service.
