Following on from the earlier story about the UK Government’s new AI Action Plan (see here), there is one item that this site has spotted that may make a difference to legal tech: the creation of a UK Sovereign AI body which will ‘direct investment into startups’.
While many of the other points in the plan may have a trickledown effect on legal tech, this one may have a direct impact.
Here’s what the Government says, with this body formed as part of the overall plan to advance the UK’s standing as a centre for AI use and development:
- ‘UK Sovereign AI should lead the delivery of a government offer to new and existing frontier AI companies that includes:
- Direct investment into companies, including promising start-ups as well as joint ventures with other commercial partners.
- Delivering appropriate sites for compute in the UK, including through AI Growth Zones, and international partnerships to guarantee compute access from appropriate allies.
- Packaging and providing responsible access to the most valuable UK-owned data sets and relevant research.
- Supporting UK-based AI organisations working on national priority projects to bring in overseas talent and headhunting promising founders or CEOs (and their teams) by convincing them to relocate to the UK.
- Facilitating deep collaboration with the national security community.’
