In 2025, significant developments in artificial intelligence emerged, particularly with a £500 billion investment from the Trump administration and China's low-cost GenAI model raising concerns. Amid these developments, the UK unveiled an AI Action Plan, aiming to solidify its position as a leader in AI, with a £14 billion commitment. However, the recent six-month delay in the UK's AI Bill poses a challenge, as businesses thrive on regulatory clarity. Despite potential gains from AI adoption estimated at £47 billion over the next decade for the UK economy, effective integration remains crucial for success.
The UK government’s AI Action Plan, launched in January, aims to attract AI firms with £14bn committed to position the UK as a global leader.
The IMF estimates that fully embracing AI could boost UK productivity by 1.5 percentage points yearly, adding £47bn to the economy in a decade.
The delay of the UK's AI Bill by six months to accommodate the US administration represents a significant missed opportunity for legislative progress.
Businesses require stability and a clear regulatory framework; delays in legislation could deter investment and hinder timely adoption of AI technology.
