UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled a detailed AI action plan comprising 50 recommendations from government experts. The initiative includes establishing AI Growth Zones and fast-tracking data center approvals to enhance innovation within the UK’s AI sector.
The plan outlines the development of a supercomputer capable of processing CHESS games at remarkable speeds and the creation of a National Data Library for freely available public data, essential for training AI models.
In a bid to compete with giants like the US in artificial intelligence, Starmer has urged swift governmental action. With a total investment commitment of 17 billion USD from leading tech firms, the UK’s ambition to enhance its AI landscape is clear.
