The UK Government has released its 10-year strategy to become a “global AI superpower”.
In Brief:
The Government will “invest and plan for the long-term needs of the AI ecosystem”.
It will “support the transition to an AI-enabled economy” - ensuring the benefits of AI touch all sectors and regions of the UK.
There’s also a focus on governance to make sure innovation and investment are encouraged while the public interest is protected.
What does this mean?
The UK aims to remain a leader in AI, which the government says is backed by our world-leading financial services industry. Part of the plan is to evaluate the state of funding for innovative firms developing AI technologies across the UK.
