The UK government has announced a new ten-year strategy to ensure that Britain is a global leader in Artificial Intelligence technologies.<\/h2>\n

The UK has officially launched its first National Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy<\/a> in order to help secure its place as a global science leader and to utilise the capacity of the latest technologies to enhance peoples\u2019 lives and address global issues like climate change and public health.<\/p>\n

AI technologies underlie the technology and applications we use daily. This includes functions such as assisting our navigation around cities and preventing online banking fraud by facilitating voice recognition in smart speakers. AI has also helped with the advancement of disease diagnosis and has enabled driverless cars becoming a reality. On top of the benefits that AI has already facilitated in our daily lives, it is anticipated that it will provide thousands of unforeseen benefits in the future.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s first AI strategy marks a clear step forward in the country\u2019s approach to the fastest evolving emerging technology on Earth. There are plans to introduce a novel national programme and method to facilitate further research and development, publish a white paper on the governance and regulation of AI to build confidence in its utilisation, as well as action to assist organisations in every region and sector take advantage of the power of AI technologies.<\/p>\n

The UK as a world leader in AI<\/h3>\n

Currently, the UK is ranked third in the world for private venture capital investment into AI companies (2019 investment into the UK reached almost \u00a32.5bn) and is also home to a third of Europe\u2019s total AI companies.<\/p>\n

Together with actions to advance the next generation of AI talent via sustained support for postgraduate learning, retraining, and ensuring children from wide backgrounds are able to access specialist courses, the strategy will place the UK as a global leader in raising the standards around the use of the technology, whilst also making the case for deeper investor confidence.<\/p>\n
