Prime Minister Keir Starmer envisioned the UK as a world leader in AI, launching an 'AI Opportunities Action Plan' aimed at fostering innovation and investment, contrary to US and EU strategies.
Under the AI Opportunities Action Plan, the government aims to expand the UK's supercomputing capacity significantly and leverage AI to boost the efficiency of public services, enhancing local governance.
The Labour administration's plan received mixed reactions, with tech firms promising £14 billion in AI investments and 13,000 jobs, while the Conservative opposition stressed issues around Labour's funding history.
Despite concerns about AI's risks, such as misinformation and job displacement, senior minister Pat McFadden highlighted the necessity of embracing the technology's positive prospects for economic growth.
