<p>The No10 Data Science Team has a remit to improve the way in which key decisions
are informed by data, analysis, and evidence using cutting-edge data science techniques.
This enables the Government to use the best available evidence, throughout the policy
and decision-making process, to drive long-term systems change and enable staff to
collectively solve the most pressing policy challenges. They also use data to track
delivery of government priority programs, working closely with Delivery Unit. Notwithstanding,
the Government would not normally comment on the details of policy development and
formation, nor the process by which collective decisions are made across government.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The team also runs a transformation program including: (1) project
rAPId, a free, open source, lightweight data sharing system; (2) the No10 Innovation
Fellowships, bringing industry expertise in AI into central government on year-long
secondments to improve public services; (3) Evidence House, a program to upskill civil
servants in data science, AI and software engineering; and crowdsource technical solutions
to wicked problems; and (4) creating and managing the new Incubator for Artificial
Intelligence, a 30-strong team of AI experts who are working on rapid delivery of
AI projects in line with the Prime Minister’s priorities.</p><p> </p>
