"AI is the most powerful technology of our lifetime, with the potential to transform every aspect of our lives. It is critical to our economic prosperity and non-negotiable for our national security. That is why we [the UK] must be an AI maker, not just an AI taker."
"Successful bidders will retain ownership of all background IP and foreground IP created during the project. They are then free to exploit their IP commercially or sell it to other customers."
The UK government is launching £80 million in AI procurement talks, utilizing its £500 million sovereign capability fund. The initiative aims to validate new AI capabilities and reduce investment risks by acting as an early customer. Future contracts may focus on developing prototype AI capabilities across various sectors, with potential contract values up to £5 million. The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology will set challenges in areas like health, national security, and public service delivery. Successful bidders will retain ownership of their intellectual property while the government keeps usage rights.
