- The UK government has launched an AI system named ‘Humphrey’ to analyze public consultations more efficiently.
- ‘Consult’, a tool within the Humphrey suite, was tested on cosmetic treatment regulations, reviewing over 2,000 responses and organizing themes effectively.
- Officials estimate the AI will save 75,000 days of manual analysis annually, translating to potential savings of £20 million (US$26.7 million).
- Other tools in the Humphrey suite include Parlex for legislative research, Minute for secure meeting transcriptions, Lex for legal analysis, and Redbox for daily civil service tasks.
- The government is also developing ‘Extract’ to enhance planning data accessibility, promising to accomplish tasks in 40 seconds that typically take 1-2 hours.
