The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) will expand in both scope and size bringing experts in data, digital and AI from the Government Digital Service (GDS) the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) and the Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (iAI) to unite efforts in the digital transformation of public services under one department. This move will drive forward the digital changes needed to overhaul the British public’s experience of interacting with the government, so it becomes personalised, convenient, and timesaving – for example, by providing people with just one way to log in and prove who they are so they can quickly access the government services they need. It will also help remove roadblocks to sharing data across the public sector.
