Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the fastest growing deep technology in the world, with huge potential to rewrite the rules of entire industries, drive substantial economic growth and transform all areas of life. The UK is a global superpower in AI and is well placed to lead the world over the next decade as a genuine research and innovation powerhouse, a hive of global talent and a progressive regulatory and business environment.
Many of the UK鈥檚 successes in AI were supported by the 2017 Industrial Strategy, which set out the government鈥檚 vision to make the UK a global centre for AI innovation. In April 2018, the government and the UK鈥檚 AI ecosystem agreed a near 拢1 billion AI Sector Deal to boost the UK鈥檚 global position as a leader in developing AI technologies.
This new National AI Strategy builds on the UK鈥檚 strengths but also represents the start of a step-change for AI in the UK, recognising the power of AI to increase resilience, productivity, growth and innovation across the private and public sectors.
