That’d be a great use of AI, just use it and don’t bother paying Deloitte
Tax payer saved billions
Deloitte was commissioned by the department to review the targeted compliance framework and its IT system, used to automate penalties in the welfare system if mutual obligationsweren’t met by jobseekers, in December 2024.
The subsequent report found widespread issues, including a lack of “traceability” between the rules of the framework and the legislation behind it, as well as “system defects”. It said an IT system was “driven by punitive assumptions of participant non-compliance”.
Fucking gross, robodebt 2.0 brought to you Deloitte. AI in its current state should be nowhere near these systems. It’s trash at worst and a toy at best.
These consultant companies are all just a bunch of wafflers who spit out garbage.
You are much better off going down to the local pub, shouting a round of drinks and asking the punters for political direction.
Only a Partial refund? They should charge them for having to mark their own work. I can’t wait until the PS is rebuilt enough not to rely on these charlatans
It’s an interesting precedent. I’ve used AI several times in my job. Even for a government client. My prompts tend to be ‘give me a demo function that does x’ so that I can see how to do a thing. It’s usually quicker than Stack Overflow, but still requires human oversight - it often gets things wrong.
But yeah - just using AI to do work: If that leads to being unacceptable to some clients/government departments, workers are going to be doing their jobs without the latest and most efficient tools. I think my situation is different to Deloitte’s, because I didn’t give the client what the AI spat out. It looks like they did.
