The UK government has published its National AI Strategy, which outlines the government’s plan for turning the UK into a global Artificial Intelligence (AI) powerhouse in the next ten years. This follows in the footsteps of earlier industrial and digital strategies published by the UK government which advocated for the adoption of AI. This announcement comes only a few months after the European Commission published its own comprehensive proposals for regulating AI technologies.
The strategy recognises the profound impact that AI will have on businesses worldwide, and aims to create a progressive and pro-innovation regulatory environment which will enable UK businesses in all sectors and regions to benefit from AI adoption and allow them to compete internationally.
