There are many problems with this policy. They need stating.

1) The technology does not deliver the promised benefits. It's snake oil. I know - I work close to this world;
2) The environmental impact of LLMs and gen AI in particular is massive;
3) Promised privacy safeguards obviously can't be trusted - nor commitments on data ownership;
4) Who is implementing? If the usual Big 4 then the waste of public cash will be epic. I have seen this up close

And of course,should the policy be effective, a lot of badly paid people are going to lose their jobs.

Nice work from a suppsosedly gov (aka Tory)

@JimmyB It is frightening - and it stinks to me.
