This comes as the Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary has appointed Matt Clifford, Chair of the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, to lead research into how this can be done. As part of this work, Clifford will give the government a new AI Opportunities Action Plan, which will explore the ways that AI use can be accelerated to improve people’s lives.
