James Klein on UK Startups and the AI Action Plan

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has signalled his strongest commitment to support AI startups so far, with the announcement of a new AI Opportunities Action Plan. The full list of recommendations aims to use AI to ‘revolutionise’ the public sector and eradicate inefficiency. It includes the creation of new growth zones across UK regions. In a press release, Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Peter Kyle, said: “We want Britain to step up; to shape the AI revolution rather than wait to see how it shapes us.”

Commenting on the announcement, Spencer West Corporate Partner, James Klein, said: “it is imperative that we generate tangible future long-term growth for early-stage companies, as well as scale ups, at a time when there are many in the UK weighing up their options and looking to potentially take their businesses overseas”.
