"Humphrey": An AI toolkit for the UK civil service
The UK government has recently announced an ambitious plan to use AI to modernise public services1. They are creating a suite of AI tools called "Humphrey" that will help civil servants work faster and more efficiently2.
For example, a tool called "Consult" will analyse public responses to public consultations, allowing the government to better understand public opinion. Another tool, called "Minute", will automatically generate meeting summaries, freeing up officials to focus on more important tasks.
How can a small business benefit from AI?
While you may not have the same resources as the UK government, your small market research firm can still benefit from AI. As the technology becomes more accessible, we will start to see a growing number of affordable and easy-to-use AI tools that can be used by small businesses. For example, you could use AI to analyse large sets of market data to spot trends that you might otherwise have missed. Or you could use AI to automate repetitive tasks such as transcribing interviews or coding data.
External consultancy to leverage AI
AI is a rapidly evolving field, and it can be difficult to keep up with the latest developments. If you are interested in using AI in your business, it might be helpful to consult with an expert. An AI consultant can help you identify the right AI tools for your needs and can assist you in implementing these technologies within your business.
AI has the potential to transform the way businesses operate, and small businesses in the UK are well-placed to take advantage of this technology. With a bit of planning and foresight, you can use AI to automate processes, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive edge.
