The UK government has already invested £900 ($1.1 billion) in computing technology. The investment is part of the government’s commitment to becoming a science and technology superpower by 2030. The creation of the AI task force is aimed at ensuring the UK has sovereign capabilities, including public services, and fosters broad adoption of safe and reliable foundation models.
UK takes steps to strengthen AI innovation
The Country has already made progress in AI innovation, with the creation of the Alan Turing Institute and the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation. The government has also implemented regulations for the ethical use of AI in public services, and a recent report from PwC highlighted the UK as having the second-highest AI adoption rate among G7 countries.
However, the UK is not the only country investing in AI technology. China and the US have also been prioritizing the development of AI in recent years, with China aiming to become the world leader in AI by 2030. To remain competitive, the UK will need to continue investing in AI technology and ensuring it is implemented safely and responsibly.
