The UK government is launching an 'AI Opportunities Action Plan,' led by tech entrepreneur Matt Clifford to boost economic growth and AI adoption.
Clifford, co-founder of Entrepreneur First, will deliver recommendations to the Science Secretary in September.
Meanwhile, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) will establish an AI Opportunities Unit to implement these recommendations.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said: "Our AI Opportunities Unit will unlock its full potential to grow a more productive economy, create good jobs across the country and deliver the excellent public services that people deserve whilst saving taxpayers money."
The Action Plan will address the UK's computational and infrastructure needs by 2030, accessibility for startups, and strategies to attract and develop top AI talent.
Clifford added: "AI presents us with so many opportunities to grow the economy and improve people’s lives. The UK is leading the way in many areas, but we can do even better.
"I aim to develop an ambitious road map to identify the biggest opportunities and support the new government as it makes important choices about where to focus its efforts."
