AI is at the forefront of the UK’s priorities. Critical to seizing the opportunity that it presents will be developing the nation’s AI capabilities, promoting its widespread use, and driving a UK AI sector that can compete on the global stage.
The AI Opportunities Action Plan outlines 50 recommendations to strengthen the UK’s AI ecosystem by securing the necessary compute infrastructure, data and talent. The government response to the action plan commits to taking forward all 50 recommendations.
A key recommendation of the AI Opportunities Action Plan is to scale up the UK’s AI Research Resource capacity twenty-fold by 2030, ensuring that researchers and startups can access the infrastructure needed to drive new breakthroughs.
This Request for Information seeks to understand how the UK government can meet this ambitious target, and how HM Government can create partnerships to achieve it.
