Appian Corporation published its 2026 UK Public Sector AI Adoption Outlook, a survey-based report assessing trust and readiness for AI across UK public services. The analysis finds the NHS is the most trusted organisation for responsible AI use, with 63% of citizens expressing trust, ahead of central government and local councils and also ranking above banks, retailers and technology companies. Despite strong trust, the report highlights uneven public comfort with clinical AI and low organisational readiness in healthcare, with only 6% saying their organisation is fully able to leverage AI, underscoring a gap between ambition and delivery.
