The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology's permanent secretary emphasizes the need for greater transparency regarding AI's deployment in the public sector. Sarah Munby stresses that clarity in how AI is used in government communications is essential for building public trust. She warns that a lack of demonstrable trustworthiness could hinder AI adoption. This aligns with the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard (ATRS), which aims to improve transparency but has faced criticism for low engagement and compliance among departments, as indicated by the National Audit Office's findings.
'There's more to do on transparency,' which can help build up trust in how automated tools are being used.
If government fails to be 'demonstrably trustworthy,' it will ultimately become a 'blocker of progress' for AI tools.
