The UK government is working with New York-based UiPath, co-founded by billionaire Daniel Dines, whose £7billion company is viewed as a future Google of robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Daniel Dines famously said last month that his aim in life is: 'I want a bot for every person'. Dines owns more than 20 per cent of shares, making him the world’s first bot billionaire. Dines' UiPath is working on software to check benefits claims for fraud, cross-referencing claims with data gathered from councils, credit-checking companies, police, business rate databases, the Land Registry and the Government's own National Fraud Initiative system. The Government insists its work will improve the system for users - and root out more fraudsters.
