The app will make use of facial recognition technology to verify users.The move is part of a wider push by Starmer\u2019s Labour administration to use technology to transform government operations, improve lacklustre productivity across Whitehall and drive economic growth.Kyle also announced a series of AI tools \u2014 nicknamed \u201cHumphrey\u201d \u2014 that he claimed would help civil servants improve decision making and cutback on consultancy spending.One of the tools, called \u201cConsult\u201d, would analyse responses to government consultations, while another, called \u201cLex\u201d, is intended to help officials sort through legal texts.Joe Hill, a former Treasury civil servant and now policy director at the Reform think-tank, said the announcements were a \u201cwelcome step\u201d but \u201cwill not deliver a truly digital state alone\u201d.He said the government would need to take risks by making \u201cserious investments\u201d and \u201caccepting that some of those investments won\u2019t work\u201d. \u00a0\u201cFalse economies have plagued digital transformation by successive governments,\u201d he said. \u201cThe real test of this government\u2019s commitment to modernisation will be the upcoming Spending Review.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
