Some recent work we've undertaken with @tuc.org.uk threw up several lessons that apply more generally to the adoption of AI across the public sector. Jeni Tennison shares them in this blog. 🔗
connectedbydata.orgTen lessons on public sector AI from our work with education unionsBetween July 2025 and April 2026, as part of our project to build worker power to shape public sector AI, Connected by Data and the TUC worked with nine education unions on an action learning programme to test how to catalyse the union movement’s capacity to understand, negotiate and advocate on AI.
This work threw up several lessons that apply more generally to the adoption of AI across the public sector – the risks and benefits; the challenges and opportunities; and the roles that workers can and should play in AI’s development, deployment and evaluation – which I’ve thrown together into this listicle.
