UK government collaborates with OpenAI to boost AI in services
The UK government has teamed up with OpenAI to boost AI in public services like justice, defense, and education, but don't expect any official trials just yet.
Even after signing a much-talked-about agreement last year and expanding OpenAI's London presence, officials confirmed they aren't running any pilot projects under this deal.
Critics raise concerns over tech partnerships and public sentiment
This move is part of the U.K.'s bigger push to lead in AI, with 38 out of 50 goals already checked off in its AI Opportunities Action Plan.
But not everyone's convinced: critics worry these tech partnerships skip proper checks and don't always deliver clear results.
Plus, most people (84% in recent polls) are uneasy about the government giving so much priority to big AI companies like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and NVIDIA.
