The opportunity to boost productivity is greatest in the public sector, where a doctor could save up to five working hours a week, according to estimates by consultancy giant Accenture. The research found that action would need to be taken now for generative AI, which is a more advanced form of automation, to have the greatest effect. Modelling suggested that the average worker could save 18% of their working hours spent on routine activities, with a doctor saving five hours a week and a commercial sales representative shaving 12 hours off their working week. It also estimated that nearly half of working hours in the UK public sector, excluding healthcare, could be enhanced by generative AI. The investment is expected to support growing global demand for computing capabilities to power AI, and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle called it a “vote of confidence” in the country.
