The UK government has signed an agreement with AI startup Anthropic to explore using its chatbot, Claude, in public services.

This initiative aims to improve citizen interactions with public information and services.

Anthropic, backed by Google and Amazon, announced the collaboration through a memorandum of understanding.

The initiative aligns with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s strategy to advance AI development in the UK.

Claude is already used in institutions like the European Parliament to aid in accessing archives and improving document searches.

This partnership supports the UK government’s goal of integrating innovative technologies into public services while ensuring proper regulations are in place.
