** The UK government is introducing an AI tool called "Consult" to analyze public consultation responses 1,000 times faster than humans, aiming to save time and money. Initially tested by the Scottish government for feedback on non-surgical cosmetic procedures, the tool will now be expanded for broader use.
What This Means: ** This reflects a growing trend of governments adopting AI to improve efficiency in public administration. While it promises cost and time savings, it may also raise questions about transparency and human oversight in policymaking.
