AI for Government in Reading
Applying AI in Reading public sector organisations, where using it is a matter of public record. Algorithmic tools affecting the public are expected to be published in a transparency record, and prompts, outputs and the reasoning behind a decision can all be requested — so nothing here is done quietly.
Why this comes up
The problem
A tool influencing how cases are prioritised was adopted departmentally, unrecorded and undocumented.

AI for Government in Reading — common questions
- What has to be published?
- Public bodies are expected to record algorithmic tools that affect the public, describing what the tool does, why it is used and how it is overseen. Treating that as a requirement from the start is considerably easier than assembling it after a journalist or a councillor asks.
- Can prompts be requested under freedom of information?
- Assume so. Information held by the authority is potentially disclosable regardless of the tool it sits in, so material entered into a system — and what came back — should be written on the basis that somebody may read it later.
- What about the public sector equality duty?
- It applies to this as to any other decision-making. Assessing who could be disadvantaged by an automated process, before it is deployed rather than after a complaint, is both the legal expectation and the way problems are found while they are still cheap to fix.
- Where should a council start?
- With internal administration nobody outside will be affected by. Drafting routine correspondence, summarising long reports, transcribing meetings and answering staff questions about policy all save time in overstretched teams without touching a decision about a resident.
- Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
- Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Reading?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
