UK government introduces AI training courses for civil servants to boost public sector efficiency
Briefly

The UK Government has launched nine new artificial intelligence (AI) training courses for Civil Servants, aimed at enhancing digital skills and improving efficiency across the public sector.
Michael Thornton... stated, 'Artificial intelligence can be a huge driver of efficiency across the public sector, saving civil servants upwards of tens of hours a week each. It's therefore encouraging to see the Government launching new AI courses for Civil Servants... that can greatly boost productivity.'
Thornton also emphasised the importance of bridging skills gaps... 'By bringing in specialised talent alongside AI skills training, the public sector can ensure the smooth rollout of AI technologies while transferring crucial knowledge to civil servants to maintain these systems.'
The new AI courses replace seven outdated modules in the Government's Generative AI suite and offer a mix of video, interactive, and written content to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
