UK PM meets AI researchers after launch of action plan for the sector

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with researchers and professors during a visit to the Manufacturing Futures Lab at University College London in Stratford.  Starmer says "Britain will be one of the great AI superpowers" as he lays out his vision to harness the power of artificial intelligence to boost the country's flagging economy.

The "AI Opportunities Action Plan" includes 50 recommendations that the government will implement to boost AI-driven efficiency in the public sector, from education and healthcare to detecting potholes. The UK, which has the third-largest AI industry after the United States and China will be "pro-growth and pro-innovation on regulation", Starmer said.
