Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world as we know it. This remarkable technology is not just a futuristic concept; it is a present reality, making significant advancements in the redesigning of our public services. While AI has numerous applications, some will become mainstream faster than others. Understanding and harnessing the power of AI is crucial for public sector organisations today.
Currently, Microsoft is at the forefront of the AI revolution. However, other major players like Google, Facebook, Amazon, HP, Apple, and more are close behind. These tech giants are investing heavily in AI, with some even building their own power stations to meet the energy demands of AI hardware, specifically the graphics processing units (GPUs) that drive AI. This indicates the scale and seriousness of their commitment to AI development.
AI’s capabilities today are already really impressive. For instance, AI can draft letters, articles, and emails, showcasing its potential in automating routine tasks. However, these AI-generated texts are not without flaws. They require careful guidance to ensure the correct tone and context. Similarly, AI can write code, analyse data, and develop new software programmes, but it still needs significant human oversight and intervention.
The success of AI hinges on data. At itelligent-i, we understand that data is the core of AI’s functionality. With over 11 years of experience working with complex and sensitive data, we are adept at managing data that must remain within specific geographical boundaries, such as council jurisdictions or health trust areas. This expertise allows us to provide immediate solutions without the delays associated with data processing regulations.
Our expertise in local government and housing associations’ processes gives us a unique insight into these sectors’ specific challenges and requirements. We understand the software solutions these organisations use and can model data across multiple systems to deliver the necessary analytics. This capability is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that AI solutions are effective and sustainable.
Despite the promise of AI, it’s essential to recognise that there is no silver bullet. Successfully integrating AI into your strategy requires placing data at the heart of your organisation. A clear understanding of your organisation’s challenges is vital to maximising the benefits from your data models and AI solutions.
That is why, at itelligent-i, we don’t just provide AI solutions; we help our clients understand, model and maintain their data. This ensures that AI implementations are not only effective but also sustainable in the long run. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of the data journey is managed and optimised for AI integration. This leads to far more accurate results and more precision in ensuring return on investment in service reform and redesign.
For councils and housing associations, understanding and leveraging AI can lead to significant improvements in efficiency and service delivery. It can improve productivity with more automation, and also allow the redeployment of staff to frontline services. It can save money but it can also drastically improve residents and businesses experiences, by highlight hidden risks and vulnerabilities.. Our expertise in these areas means we can offer tailored solutions that address the specific needs and challenges of these sectors. We work closely with our clients to ensure that their data is suitably prepared and that AI solutions are appropriately integrated and maintained.
There is a simple truth: the AI revolution is here, and it is reshaping our world in profound ways. To harness its full potential, councils must prioritise their data strategies and gain a deep understanding of their unique challenges.
Our commitment to understanding and managing data, combined with our deep sector knowledge, positions us as a leader in helping councils to understand what AI can do for you and make the process less scary. The future of AI is bright, and with the right approach, councils can unlock its full potential, driving innovation and efficiency in ways previously unimaginable just a few years ago.
At itelligent-i, we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve these goals, providing the expertise and support needed to navigate the AI revolution.
