Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure Britain remains competitive in AI innovation following cuts to AI investment.

The government is committed to bringing the AI Research Resource supercomputers in Bristol and Cambridge online, which will increase our AI compute capacity by 30 times. In addition, AI entrepreneur Matt Clifford has been appointed to lead the government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan. This will set out recommendations to grow our AI sector and ensure AI can be deployed across the economy to improve people’s lives.
