Piers Linney, a former investor on BBC's Dragons' Den, has endorsed the UK's 'AI Opportunities Action Plan', emphasizing its importance for establishing Britain as a leader in artificial intelligence. The plan, introduced by Keir Starmer and developed by tech entrepreneur Matt Clifford, aims to harness AI for economic growth. Linney warns that failing to act swiftly could lead to global irrelevance and economic decline.
While Linney supports the initiative, he raises concerns about the accessibility of data and the need for more robust strategies to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). He argues that the current plan lacks the boldness required to address the challenges faced by the 5.6 million SMEs in the UK. Linney calls for a tailored approach to AI that moves beyond traditional methods to meet the demands of an exponential future.
