UK must not let AI ‘wash over our economy’, says Science Secretary The UK cannot let AI “wash over our economy and pick up the pieces afterwards”, the Science Secretary has said as he prepares to launch the Government’s plans for the technology.
While the details of the AI Action Plan will be revealed on Monday, Mr Kyle said it would include a “sovereign unit” that would bring the sector together to encourage innovation.
But he also stressed the need to seize the opportunities presented by AI and place Britain in the “forefront” of innovation, saying: “I’m not someone who thinks we should just sit back and let this technology wash over our economy and pick up the pieces afterwards.”.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the AI Action Plan, Mr Kyle said he wanted to make sure that people “from every background” could use and benefit from the technology.
Peter Kyle is set to unveil the Government’s plans for AI alongside the Prime Minister on Monday, setting out how the UK will encourage tech innovation in a bid to boost growth.
