Today the UK government announced it has supported 98 AI projects with a share of £32 million, benefiting over 200 businesses and research organisations, spanning a range of sectors including public services, driving efficiencies and reducing administrative tasks.
Companies developing artificial intelligence (AI) to improve safety on construction sites, reduce time spent repairing the railways and cut emissions across supply chains are amongst a number of projects set to receive a share of £32 million in UK Government funding.
Minister for Digital Government and AI Feryal Clark said:
“AI will deliver real change for working people across the UK – not only growing our economy but improving our public services.
That’s why our support for initiatives like this will be so crucial – backing a range of projects which could reduce train delays, give us new ways of maintaining our vital infrastructure, and improve experiences for patients by making it easier to get their prescriptions to them.
We want technology to boost growth and deliver change right across the board, and I’m confident projects like these will help us realise that ambition.”
Examples of projects:
Dr Kedar Pandya, UKRI Technology Missions Fund Senior Responsible Owner and Executive Director of Cross-Council Programmes at UKRI’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council said:
“These projects will drive AI innovation and economic growth in a diverse range of high-growth industry sectors in all nations of the UK.
They complement other investments made through the UKRI Technology Missions Fund, which are already helping to boost growth and productivity across the UK by harnessing the power of AI and other transformative technologies.”
