The UK is making great efforts to maintain its current position as the #3 international AI
leader behind the USA and China, and to optimise its potential to climb further up the UK Strategic Policy Areas of the AI Sector
ladder of the Global AI Race. By PwC’s estimation, AI technologies are set to contribute
£11.9T to the world economy by 2030, and to increase UK GDP by up to 10.3% by 2030. In
order to convert this potential into reality, the UK government has formulated strategic
industry development initiatives in five key areas (following the EU member states’ Human Capital Area

UK AI Council: AI Roadmap
In recent years, the UK has been the home of a large number of initiatives and
start-ups aimed at developing and deploying AI across the economy for the Directions of Opening AI Potential
benefit of society. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, AI will be integral to
tackling the major challenges of rebuilding and leveling the UK economy by
creating jobs and prosperity beyond London and the South East, providing new
forms of health and social care, achieving net-zero carbon emissions, and
ensuring resilience to future economic, health, and environmental shocks. AI
will also create completely new opportunities for humanity to flourish. The UK
has earned a place among global leaders in many areas of AI, from
accelerating drug discovery to helping businesses factor climate volatility into R&D and Skills and
their decisions. Innovation Diversity
As governments around the world have already established and financed
national plans for cross-sector AI application and financed them, the UK
government is now also being called for action.
In 2021, the UK AI Council, an independent AI expert committee that provides
advice to the UK Government for building a national AI ecosystem, published
an independent report on building an AI Roadmap for the UK. In this report,
four pillars on which to build the UK's future in AI are described. It invites National, Data,
action across government to keep the UK at the forefront of safe and Cross-sector Infrastructure and
responsible AI. It emphasises the importance of ‘doubling down’ on recent Adoption Public Trust
investment the UK has made in AI, while at the same time shifting the efforts
on integrating existing approaches to ethics, security, and social impacts.
The strategy must be carefully designed, building on the country’s strengths.
With this purpose, the following page details the recommendations given by
UK AI Council.

Innovation Eye Sources: gov.uk 59


AI Roadmap: Research, Development, and Innovation

1. Scaling Up:
➔ Make sustainable public sector investments in AI
➔ Ensure consistent access to top talent from around the world
➔ Find new ways to bring researchers, disciplines, and sectors together

2
➔ Provide AI-skilled employees for a new jobs market

2. The Alan Turing Institute as a Truly National Institute:
➔ Move from local leadership to global
➔ Provide assured long-term public sector funding that will give the
Turing Institute and others the confidence to plan and invest in
strategic leadership for the UK in AI research, development, and

AI algorithms in COVID apps have various uses in public health management. They
monitor, and potentially slow the spread of the virus through the population by
tracing people`s contacts (Contact tracing apps). They allow users to
self-diagnose for covid symptoms (Self diagnostics). They track virus mutation

Spain (3 apps), United Kingdom (2 apps), and United States (8 apps).
The government is a leading COVID apps producer for the countries indicated. In

Conclusion

The UK has a virtuous circle of growth in AI development, investment, deployment, and adoption.
NEW FINANCE: Investment confidence in the UK and London is high and growing, and the UK’s AI innovation and investment ecosystem is
becoming a magnet for entrepreneurial finance. In addition, the UK’s high-tech AI fintech companies are located in its own financial centre of
London that are needed to grow it.

NEW BUSINESS BRANDS: As Europe’s marketing and advertising hub, London is now also a hub for the innovation of new AI marketing and
advertising businesses for AI development, deployment, and adoption.

MORE TALENT: The UK has a highly integrated AI innovation ecosystem of talent including an AI science base, a technological foundation, and a
tradition of digital entrepreneurship. These industry, finance, and talent systems are mixed with a talent-enabling network of AI think tanks, hubs,
doctoral training centres, and events companies that are turning the UK into a world-leading AI community.

ENGAGED REGULATORS: The UK’s AI entrepreneurship, talent, investment, and branded businesses are in close proximity with regulators, which are
increasingly playing a pivotal role in the promotion of dialogue and the shaping of the AI Industry (in discussion with firms) to become ethical and
purposeful. Examples of institutions and strategies include the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI), the Office for AI, the All-Party
Parliamentary Group on AI, and the AI Strategy published this autumn, to name a few.

Overall, we can see how AI entrepreneurship activity in the UK is located close to finance, marketing, and regulatory bodies that are needed to grow
it and the AI community.
