We are conducting research into the UK public sector's readiness to harness the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in light of the government's AI Opportunities Action Plan.Our research aims to understand the current state of AI adoption, infrastructure, and skills development within UK public sector departments and agencies.
