UK officials use AI to decide on important issues

Using AI to help summarise data might be handy. Do you really think that officials read all 501 pages of a report or do they ask a intern to read it and give them a summary. How does a intern differ from AI in accuracy? Even management don't read stuff they pay others to do it an report it back to them.

I always assumed that's why the opening paragraphs are called "executive summary".

Its a sad reflection of the times that executives apparently aren't smart enough to skip to the last page for a summary, so their one has to be placed at the front.
TimFox:
I was taught that rather than end a report with "conclusions", that information should be moved to an "executive summary" at the beginning, since that's where the big wheels stopped reading.
(I learned that in an actual refresher training course on report writing.)
Haenk:
Instead of AI, I'd rather like a simple coin toss.
It' *way' cheaper, faster and you only have a 50% chance of messing things up. That seems like a much better outcome than using standard "political decisions".
mendip_discovery:
Just wondered if the uses could also be,
"If I make this change what are the potential reactions to this news from the press?"
"After this change what are the potential conflicts with other rules?"
"What are the knock on effects of these changes? Will things get better?"
"Take this dataset of facts and provide me talking points that are positive?"
"Using the data provided please come up with a ideas that could solve the problems we are having."
I know this might be s bit of a stretch for the current systems but I grew up watching Star Trek.
