UK: Anthropic and Meta to Renew Public Services

On January 27, 2026, the UK government announced the launch of an initiative to integrate AI into the public sector. Key partners include Anthropic and Meta. The project, funded in part by Meta, aims to create open-source tools and pilot assistants for the GOV.UK platform.

One of the first tasks will be developing AI assistants for employment services. This exemplifies London's pragmatic approach: instead of harsh confrontation with tech giants, the state leverages their expertise to optimize bureaucracy and improve digital services for citizens.
