UK Government Aims To Lead In AI With New Initiatives

According to Odaily, the UK government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is setting its sights on becoming a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence. The government plans to establish a domestic competitor to OpenAI and significantly enhance the nation's computing infrastructure. On January 13, Starmer is scheduled to visit Bristol, UK, to announce this commitment, which aims to help the country harness the potential of AI. A key focus of the initiative is to expand the capacity of data centers across the UK. The government has set a target to increase the computing power of the public sector by 20 times by 2030. As part of this commitment, the government will begin opening up AI research resources, with the plan designed to strengthen the UK's computing infrastructure.
