With the prime minister and the chancellor under pressure over Britain's economic outlook, Starmer said AI could bolster the country's anaemic growth, as he put concerns over privacy, disinformation and discrimination to one side. We are in a unique position in this country, because we've got the National Health Service, and the use of that data has already driven forward advances in medicine, and will continue to do so... We have to see this as a huge opportunity that will impact on the lives of millions of people really profoundly.
Starmer added: "It is important that we keep control of that data... but I don't think that we should have a defensive stance here that will inhibit the sort of breakthroughs that we need." This stance reflects a pivot towards a more open approach to utilizing NHS data for innovation, even amid concerns about privacy.
Starmer stated that AI could help give the UK the economic boost it needed, emphasizing that the technology had the potential to increase productivity hugely and provide a better economy that works in a different way in the future.
