Artificial Intelligence: Trade Competitiveness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to keep the UK as a competitive place to invest in AI start-ups.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The UK has a competitive advantage in AI, with some of the world’s most innovative AI companies based here.
The government commissioned an Action Plan in July, led by Matt Clifford to identify how AI can drive economic growth and explore untapped AI opportunities. HMG will form a new “AI Opportunities Unit” to seize the benefits of AI. The Action Plan, to be published shortly, will consider key enablers such as the UK’s compute and broader infrastructure requirements by 2030, how this infrastructure is made available for start-ups and scale-ups and how to develop and attract top AI talent.
