  • Government AI assistant named after 'Machiavellian' sitcom legend - Chillingly in the BBC sitcom Humphrey emerges as Cabinet secretary, the most powerful position in the civil service

The UK government has introduced a new AI assistant named "Bernard," inspired by the character Bernard Woolley from the classic British sitcom "Yes, Minister." This AI tool, developed by the Government Digital Service (GDS), aims to enhance productivity and efficiency within government operations by providing civil servants with instant access to information and assistance in drafting documents. Bernard is designed to be a helpful, non-intrusive tool, reflecting the character's role as a supportive yet often overlooked figure in the series. The AI's capabilities include answering queries, summarizing documents, and offering insights, all while maintaining a humorous nod to its namesake's fictional traits of being both knowledgeable and somewhat invisible in his support role.
