The Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (i.AI) has developed a taxonomy for the use of AI in government.
The organisation, which works within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, said the classification and naming system is based on user and technical challenges rather than policy area.
This reflects the fact that there are often common solutions for problems that different policy teams are trying to solve, it said.
It has so far developed five options for: using generative AI in public facing services; anomaly detection of fraud and error; the optimisation of matching and triage; generative AI in casework management; and data infrastructure, taking in databases, application programming interfaces and the development environment.
“By concentrating on solutions to technical, not policy, problems, and through a commitment to modularisation and open source, we will be able to deliver AI for Public Good in the most scalable way,” it said.
i.AI is working on a handful of projects to promote the wider use of AI in government, and said it has already written over 11 million lines of code and open sourced 500,000 of these on GitHub with more to follow as projects develop.
