Concerns have arisen regarding the name choice, associated with deviousness, which may undermine the initiative's goal of promoting technology. Secretary Peter Kyle will unveil more digital tools, reinforcing the government's commitment to an overhaul of digital services following their recent AI Opportunities Action Plan.
The introduction of AI tools named 'Humphrey' aims to enhance civil servants' efficiency and cut down on consulting costs.
