The GOV.UK One Login programme is providing a single way for citizens to prove their identity and reuse this proof across central government services.

00:18:23: Procuring AI that works for people and society - Anna Studman, Senior Researcher, Ada Lovelace Institute
There is excitement about the potential of AI to improve public services, including within local government. But the full impacts of these technologies are still emerging. Getting procurement right is one way to ensure AI works equitably and well, as it provides an opportunity for local authorities to scrutinise suppliers on the impacts of their technologies. But despite a proliferation of Government guidance on the procurement of AI, Ada Lovelace Institute research shows that councils do not have access to a clear, comprehensive or consistent account of how to procure AI in the public interest.
