National AI Strategy

The UK Government has today launched its first National AI Strategy.

The aim of this Strategy is set out a ten-year plan to make Britain a global AI superpower by focusing on three key pillars:

1. Investing in and planning for the long term needs of the AI ecosystem to continue our leadership as a science and AI superpower;
2. Supporting the transition to an AI-enabled economy, capturing the benefits of innovation in the UK, and ensuring AI benefits all sectors and regions;
3. Ensuring the UK gets the national and international governance of AI technologies right to encourage innovation, investment, and protect the public and our fundamental values.

The goals of this Strategy are that the UK:

• Experiences a significant growth in both the number and type of discoveries that happen in the UK, and are commercialised and exploited here;
• Benefits from the highest amount of economic and productivity growth due to AI; and
• Establishes the most trusted and pro-innovation system for AI governance in the world.
