What’s your snap reaction to yesterday’s announcement?

In today’s digital world, the government often faces criticism for its lack of focus and investment in technology, so this morning’s announcement is a welcome statement of intent that could deliver long-term benefits and boost confidence in the UK’s tech sector. Large-scale technological advances can be challenging for businesses to navigate without specifics, so this must come with a clear plan, guidance and action. 

As a partner which deals with the realities of delivering AI to business customers every day, what’s your one piece of advice for the new government regarding how it approaches AI growth and regulation?
