Recent advances in things like generative AI give us a glimpse into the enormous opportunities that await us in the near future if we are prepared to lead the world in the AI sector with our values of transparency, accountability and innovation. But in many ways, AI is already delivering fantastic social and economic benefits for real people – from improving NHS medical care to making transport safer. Most of us are only now beginning to understand the transformative potential of AI as the technology rapidly improves. Having invested over £2.5 billion in AI since 2014, this paper builds on our recent announcements of £110 million for our AI Tech Missions Fund, £900 million to establish a new AI Research Resource and to develop an exascale supercomputer capable of running large AI models – backed up by our new £8 million AI Global Talent Network and £117 million of existing funding to create hundreds of new PhDs for AI researchers. Better public services, high quality jobs and opportunities to learn the skills that will power our future – these are the priorities that will drive our goal to become a science and technology superpower by 2030.Īrtificial Intelligence ( AI) will play a central part in delivering and enabling these goals, and this white paper will ensure we are putting the UK on course to be the best place in the world to build, test and use AI technology.
I believe that a common-sense, outcomes-oriented approach is the best way to get right to the heart of delivering on the priorities of people across the UK. The Rt Hon Michelle Donelan MP, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology
