The UK government is inviting local and regional authorities to apply to become designated AI growth zones, as part of Labour's AI opportunities action plan. This initiative aims to expedite planning permissions for AI-related projects, particularly in deindustrialised regions, to boost economic development and job creation. The strategy follows the establishment of the Culham AI growth zone and seeks infrastructure proposals from authorities, with a focus on sites with energy access. The overarching goal is to position the UK as a leader in AI innovation and technology.
The government's goal is to encourage energy companies and datacentre developers to provide the infrastructure needed to drive forward the roll-out of AI growth zones.
We're leaving no stone unturned in how we can harness expertise from all over the UK to deliver new opportunities, fresh growth, better public services and cement our position as an AI pioneer.
