UK will not pit AI safety against investment in bid for growth, says minister
Online safety cannot be “pitted against economic investment”, the Science Secretary has said as he prepares to launch the UK’s AI action plan.
Peter Kyle is set to unveil the Government’s plans for AI on Monday, setting out how the UK will encourage innovation while ensuring safety.
Speaking to the Observer, Mr Kyle said: “We need a concerted effort as a country to ensure now, while we’re still in the foothills, that we are laying the foundations.
“I don’t want us to be a country that is always buying off the shelf from others. I want us to be at the cutting edge. We are the third largest AI market in the world, but we’re not touching the sides of our potential.”
