Tackling critical challenges in local government through AI and data
Working alongside councils, combined authorities, and transport hubs, we've tackled key challenges by applying AI and data innovation where it matters most.
Councils face growing pressure to adopt emerging technologies, yet often lack the expertise to harness AI and data effectively for service delivery and decision-making.
As councils digitise services and adopt AI tools, ensuring compliance with data regulations and safeguarding against cyber threats is more critical than ever.
Local governments must address disparities in digital literacy and infrastructure, especially in underserved or rural communities, to ensure no-one is left behind in the AI era.
With ongoing financial constraints, councils need to use data insights and automation to streamline operations, prioritise spending, and deliver better public services.
