Data is the lifeblood of artificial intelligence (AI) and as such is a hugely valuable resource. Entrepreneur Matt Clifford’s report on the AI Opportunities Action Plan, commissioned by the UK government, has set out some ambitious recommendations for unlocking UK public data to power AI development – and serve as a state asset.
Making UK-owned datasets available for training AI, according to innovation secretary Peter Kyle, could help the country become a global leader in the technology. The government has accepted all 50 recommendations in the action plan.
