5⃣ Fix the foundations. Unlocking the full potential of #AI means strengthening the foundations of local government - from data and digital infrastructure to organisational capacity. AI should improve public services, not simply automate existing processes.
010
ai@cam @ai.cam.ac.uk · 23/07/2026
4⃣ AI should strengthen people, not replace them. The benefits of AI should be reinvested in the workforce, helping staff build new skills and deliver better services.
121
ai@cam @ai.cam.ac.uk · 23/07/2026
3⃣ AI should improve services for everyone. New AI technologies should make #publicservices more inclusive and accessible. This means ensuring people can get the right support, in the way that works best for them.
111
ai@cam @ai.cam.ac.uk · 23/07/2026
2⃣ Trust can't be an afterthought. Confidence in AI depends on transparency, accountability and meaningful public involvement at every stage of its development and deployment.
120
ai@cam @ai.cam.ac.uk · 23/07/2026
1⃣ Use AI where it makes a difference AI should only be introduced where it addresses a genuine public need and delivers measurable improvements to #publicservices. AI should enhance what people do - not replace them.
