UK to go ‘all-in’ on AI as Starmer throws weight of Whitehall behind technology
Sir Keir Starmer will throw the weight of Whitehall fully behind AI in a bid to boost growth.
The Prime Minister is set to unveil his Government’s AI Opportunity Action Plan on Monday as he seeks to make Britain a world leader in the sector.
He said: “The AI industry needs a Government that is on their side, one that won’t sit back and let opportunities slip through its fingers.
“And in a world of fierce competition, we cannot stand by. We must move fast and take action to win the global race.”
Monday’s plan will take forward all 50 recommendations made by tech entrepreneur Matt Clifford, who was commissioned by Science Secretary Peter Kyle in July to come up with a plan to identify AI opportunities.
