The UK government has revised its AI strategy, scrapping a $1.72 billion investment previously earmarked for AI development. This decision comes under the newly elected Labour Government led by Kerr Stammer, which aims to create a more cost-effective approach to AI technology. Expert Matt Clifford has been hired to develop this new strategy while still promoting AI adoption in the public sector.
The government’s shift includes cutting funding for significant projects, such as an 800 million pound supercomputer at the University of Edinburgh. Critics argue that this cost-cutting approach may hinder the UK's competitiveness in the global AI landscape, especially as other countries, like France, are making substantial investments in AI. Despite these changes, the Labour administration reassures its commitment to leveraging AI for public service efficiency and growth.
