Use of AI in government - National Audit Office (NAO)


Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform public services, but also presents risks and concerns.

A recent NAO study has looked at how AI is currently used in government, and what government needs to do to achieve the potential large-scale benefits of AI. In this session, we’ll share insights from our survey of government departments and arms length bodies (ALBs) of AI activity in government, and our findings on the barriers that need to be tackled to support AI adoption.

Don't miss out on this insightful session with colleagues from National Audit Office (NAO), the UK’s independent public spending watchdog.

Government Analysis Function

The membership of the Government Analysis Function is a wide and diverse community of people, it includes:

  • actuaries
  • economists
  • geographers
  • operational researchers
  • social researchers
  • statisticians and data scientists
  • analysts within the Government Digital and Data profession
  • anyone else working in analysis in government

The Government Analysis Function fits into the Civil Service’s functional model. Each analytical profession provides guidance on the expectations of a person in order to be recognised as a member of that profession.

The function brings together all members of the analytical professions as well as anyone or any team that produces analysis, evidence and research to support decision making in government.

The function does not remove the professional identities of each individual profession. It brings them together to be greater than the sum of its parts and to make efficiencies.

The government profession groups within the Government Analysis Function include:
