The UK must persuade a “sceptical” public that artificial intelligence (AI) can improve millions of lives and transform the way business and Whitehall works, Sir Keir Starmer said.

The Prime Minister said AI would cut through planning red tape to speed up housebuilding and promised £1 billion of funding to increase the UK’s compute power.
