PM plans to 'unleash AI' across UK to boost growth
The government is to set out plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) across the UK to boost growth and deliver public services more efficiently.
The AI Opportunities Action Plan being announced on Monday will be backed by leading tech firms, which are said to have committed £14bn towards various projects, creating 13,250 jobs.
It includes plans for growth zones where development will be focused, and the technology will be used to help tackle issues such as potholes.
"I want to make sure that it benefits everyone from every background, that it benefits every community, from every part of the UK," Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said AI "will drive incredible change" in the country and "has the potential to transform the lives of working people".
Kyle told the BBC there was no reason why the UK could not create tech companies on the same scale as Google, Amazon, and Apple.
