UK Government boosts public sector productivity with AI automation
UK Government · Legal drafting assistance · Microsoft
A landmark UK Government report details a major productivity boost from the deployment of Microsoft 365 Copilot to 20,000 civil servants in a trial conducted between September and December 2024. Civil servants leveraged Copilot to automate daily administrative tasks such as drafting documents, summarizing emails, updating records, and preparing reports. The trial saved each participant an average of 26 minutes per day, which extrapolates to nearly two full weeks of saved work per employee annually. This time saving is expected to enhance service delivery to citizens, reduce bureaucratic burdens, and generate potential savings of up to £45 billion ($61 billion) under the 'Plan for Change' program. The program aims to modernize government operations by investing in generative AI, moving services online, and reducing fraud and errors with digital compliance. The case demonstrates the real-world impact of generative AI and Copilot for mass-scale productivity improvements in the public sector, enabling civil servants to focus more on frontline services and complex problem solving. Security and compliance were key considerations in deployment, and the report emphasizes the importance of technology in making government work more efficiently for taxpayers and citizens.
