The AI Opportunities Action Plan government response

The UK Government's response to the AI Opportunities Action Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy to harness the potential of artificial intelligence. Key points relate to AI infrastructure, a national data library, AI skills and talent, regulation and safety and public services. The government plans to expand the UK's AI infrastructure, including a new supercomputing facility and AI Growth Zones to support AI development and job creation.  A National Data Library is to be established to provide secure access to public sector data for AI research and innovation. There are initiatives to attract and retain top AI talent, including scholarships and fellowships, and efforts to increase diversity in the AI workforce. The government wants to ensure a robust regulatory framework to support AI innovation while addressing risks and maintaining public trust. In addition to using AI to improve public services, such as healthcare and education, by adopting a 'Scan, Pilot, Scale' approach to AI implementation.

The plan aims to position the UK as a global leader in AI, driving economic growth and improving the quality of life for its citizens.

I also think that there needs to be responsible governance, transparency for responsible AI and consideration for AI harms. 

We have the Ada Lovelace institute , an independent research institute with a mission to ensure data and AI work for people and society, which i hope will be involved further as things progress.
