1/ Today the Prime Minister published my AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK and committed to implement all its recommendations. A quick thread on why this is important, what we need to do now - and how you can help
I’ve recently started a secondment into DSIT to work on delivering the AI Action Plan.
In particular, I’ll be focusing on AI for Science and the new Sovereign AI Unit.
Here’s why this work matters and how I could do with you and your network’s help!
