AI Readiness for Local Government: GoLLM and Heriot-Watt team up with Interface Support

Supporting innovative product development and market research, GoLLM is proud to partner with Dr Luciana Blaha’s Intelligent Automation Systems Lab (IAS Lab) at Heriot-Watt University with invaluable grant support from Interface. This collaboration focusses on assessing AI Readiness across local UK government authorities. The survey response data will be analysed using GoLLM’s automated survey analysis and report generation tool (D.A.V.E.), currently in development, with guidance and expertise from the IAS Lab.

We extend our gratitude beyond the interface team to Heriot-Watt Business Development Manager Emma Perfect, who provided key support during the grant application process, and to Dr Blaha for her instrumental partnership.

The project team also includes Heriot-Watt IAS Lab Research Assistant and MSc student Krishan Chandarana, GoLLM intern Chunche Lee, GoLLM advisor Jim McConnell, and GoLLM CEO Daniel Shorr. Additional we’d like to thank Amber Devin whose EPSRC summer 2024 internship research with Dr Blaha’s IAS Lab contributed to this effort.
