The UK government has teamed up with AI startup Anthropic to explore how its chatbot, Claude, could improve public services. The goal is to enhance access to information and simplify interactions for citizens.
Anthropic, a rising competitor to OpenAI—backed by tech giants like Google and Amazon—has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government to formalize this initiative.
This collaboration aligns with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s vision of making the UK a global leader in AI while boosting the efficiency of public services through cutting-edge technology.
Technology Minister Peter Kyle emphasized the significance of the partnership, seeing it as a crucial step in strengthening the UK’s position as an AI innovation hub.
Claude is already being used by the European Parliament to streamline access to archival documents, cutting down the time needed for retrieval and analysis—demonstrating its real-world benefits.
This move highlights Britain’s commitment to harnessing AI advancements for the benefit of individuals and businesses across the country.
