London, January 13 (Xinhua) -- The UK government officially announced the "Artificial Intelligence Opportunity Action Plan" on the same day, aiming to promote artificial intelligence technology, drive economic growth, create more job opportunities, and improve public service levels. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the UK government believes that this technology will become the core driving force for achieving its key development goals.
The plan points out that artificial intelligence capabilities are rapidly improving and are expected to become the main driving force for important missions such as driving economic growth and improving public services in the UK. To effectively promote the development of artificial intelligence, the UK government plans to work closely with leading global AI companies, top UK scholars and entrepreneurs, as well as relevant talents interested in doing business in the UK, actively guiding the AI revolution based on the principles of shared economy prosperity, improving public services, and increasing personal development opportunities.
This plan covers multiple important areas, with a core focus on promoting economic growth and improving public service levels. Specific measures include:
Infrastructure construction: Establish multiple "artificial intelligence growth zones" to accelerate the construction process of artificial intelligence data centers; The plan is to increase public computing power by 20 times, providing powerful computing support for the research and application of artificial intelligence.
Data resource utilization: Create a new national database that fully unleashes the value of public data while ensuring security and reliability, providing abundant data resources for the training of artificial intelligence.
Energy Security: Establish a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Energy Committee to address the huge demand for energy in the development of artificial intelligence and ensure the sustainable development of the AI industry.
British Prime Minister Stamer stated in the relevant communiqu é that artificial intelligence will bring profound changes to the UK. The government's plan will help the UK become a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence, promote infrastructure development in AI related industries, attract more investment, create a large number of job opportunities, and significantly improve the quality of public services.
Peter Kyle, the UK Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, mentioned in the preface of the plan that although the UK is currently the third largest artificial intelligence market in the world, it still faces the risk of being caught up. At present, three large technology companies have pledged to invest £ 14 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure in the UK, which is expected to create over 13000 jobs. This series of measures demonstrates the determination and strategic layout of the UK government to vigorously develop artificial intelligence, and the future development trend of the UK in the field of artificial intelligence deserves global attention.
