I need help to decipher this article!
Maybe my wetware needs some (non-existent) AI help, but I have a few problems comprehending the buzzwords in this article.
What on earth is "a dynamic purchasing system"?
Why do organisations who spend taxpayer money need an "opportunity to purchase" something as ill defined as "AI"? (Which doesn't actually exist in any form which I'd apply the term to.)
Furthermore, what the hell do they need an AI for even if it did exist?
Why does providing them with this "opportunity" require blowing £200 million on something which sounds like a buzzword bingo invention?
Why can't these rich public organs access "a wide range of competition" (whatever that means) without a "dynamic purchasing system"?
Where did all this money to burn suddenly come from? Isn't the country broke?
I might not live in Blighty any more, but I don't seem to remember my skills in my mother tongue diminishing to such a extent that I can't understand an El Reg article any more.
Do I have early onset Alzheimer's disease? Or is my uncontrollable aversion to bullshit playing up again?
Please help!
Confused of Stockholm.
