Deloitte just published their State of the State 2026 report. One finding stood out: the UK public sector is running hundreds of AI experiments across government departments, but cannot point to a single one that has transformed its cost base. At the same time, 37% of the public see AI in public services as primarily a risk. Only 23% see it as an opportunity. The government continues to describe AI as its central growth strategy. It cancelled £1.3 billion in actual AI and tech funding earlier this year due to economic tightening, while simultaneously celebrating billions in “investment commitments” from private companies that turned out to be non-binding intentions rather than contracts. What strikes me about this is not that AI projects are failing. It is that nobody seems to be measuring success. Hundreds of experiments with no mechanism for determining whether any of them worked is not innovation. This is activity mistaken for progress.
