🌐 Exploring Data Security, IP, and Commercial Use in Government's GenAI Journey As the government continues to explore generative AI, navigating data security, intellectual property (IP), and commercial use becomes crucial. Head over to our report, "Buying Generative AI in Government," to understand these complexities: https://lnkd.in/efm5nBaG Key considerations in this chapter include: 🔒 Data Security: The sensitivity of data shared with GenAI models is paramount. Governments must ensure robust encryption and access controls, especially when dealing with proprietary or sensitive information. 📊 Data Sharing & Vendor Lock-In: To avoid being tied to one supplier, clear data ownership principles are essential. Ensuring buyers have rights to interaction data can maintain flexibility and prevent vendor lock-in. 💡 IP Ownership & Commercial Use: As GenAI models improve through government engagements, the question of IP ownership arises. Governments must carefully structure contracts to balance innovation with fair compensation, potentially exploring public-private partnerships for shared IP. Check out the graphic for a quick guide on IP decisions for GenAI use cases, or read the full report to future-proof your AI procurement strategy! 🔍📊 #Innovation #Procurement #GenAI Ryan Shea Alexander de Carvalho Natasha Wren Sam Mingoia Adam Sticca Johnny Hugill Andrew Cole

🌟 Modernising Healthcare 🌟 In this week’s edition of ‘Leading with Innovation’, we explore how Labour could meet its ambitions to make the healthcare system more accessible, efficient, and community-driven. 🏥 Their goals span a National Care Service with a 'home first' approach and stronger NHS-social care collaboration. With data and life sciences poised to revolutionise healthcare, Labour is pushing for a mission-driven industrial strategy that accelerates tech and medicine adoption through partnering with industry and academia, while prioritising safety. To achieve this vision, procurement reforms and innovative initiatives, like startup accelerator programmes, are vital. 🌍 PUBLIC's previous work with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) UK Healthcare Accelerator is a promising example. This programme empowered startups to enhance patient and clinician experiences, boost outcomes, and cut costs — paving the way for a transformed UK healthcare system. 5 Startups to Watch: 💡 RemedyRx: Capturing 95% of patient data outside the system for life-changing patient-physician connections. 💫 Infinity Health: Streamlining operations, automating tasks, saving 91 minutes per shift, and boosting capacity by 55%. 📈 Abtrace: Revolutionising long-term condition management with proactive, data-driven insights. 🤝 C the Signs: Using AI to detect cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage in under 30 seconds. 🌐 PEP Health: Turning patient comments into real-time insights, improving experiences and outcomes. #NHS #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #LabourNHS #HealthTransformation #AIinHealthcare Natasha Wren Sam Mingoia Adam Sticca Alexander de Carvalho Rona Harvey Ryan Shea

❓How do you evaluate suppliers when GenAI evolves faster than traditional methods? The rapid evolution of GenAI presents unique challenges for evaluating suppliers. Traditional methods fall short, so here’s how to approach it: 1️⃣ Existing vs. New Suppliers: Established suppliers have government experience but may lack GenAI expertise. Consider consortia that combine the context of big players with the innovation of newer companies. 2️⃣ Showcasing Competence: Encourage suppliers to prototype or pilot before full procurement. Challenge programmes with test cases are essential to evaluate and mitigate risks effectively. 3️⃣ Assessing bids: Assemble a cross-functional team with technical experts who can assess GenAI solutions for performance, bias, and real-world applicability. Let’s embrace these strategies to make the most of GenAI in procurement!💡 Download our full report for more information: https://lnkd.in/efm5nBaG #Innovation #Procurement #GenAI Ryan Shea Alexander de Carvalho Natasha Wren Sam Mingoia Adam Sticca Johnny Hugill Andrew Cole
