The UK government is set to provide civil servants with AI-powered tools named Humphrey, after a character from the sitcom Yes, Minister. These tools aim to enhance efficiency and reduce costs by replacing expensive consultants. The initiative is part of a broader digital service overhaul following the AI Opportunities Action Plan.
The naming of the AI after a character known for being devious has sparked criticism, with concerns that it may undermine public trust in the technology. Key tools include Consult, which summarizes public feedback, and Parlex, designed to assist policymakers by analyzing past parliamentary debates. The government is optimistic about the potential of these AI tools to improve operations within the civil service.
