Government in the Age of Superintelligence

June 9, 2025

A new report from Policy Exchange – backed by Lord (William) Hague – calls on the Government to rewire its institutions for the coming age of superintelligent technologies – and warns that “incrementalism is no longer enough”.

With the Government recently announcing the results of a new trial showing that AI can significantly reduce time that civil servants spend on Government tasks by using the technology, Policy Exchange delivers a blueprint for how Governments can meet this moment and prepare for what Lord Hague describes as “… the fastest, most transformative period in human history”. 

The report, written by Policy Exchange Senior Fellow and former senior Downing Street Special Adviser Ed de Minckwitz, warns that existing political, bureaucratic and regulatory structures are structurally misaligned with the speed, scale and scope of technological change now underway. Without reform, the UK risks falling behind both economically and geopolitically.
