Governing AI for the Public Interest

PARIS – UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently published an “AI Opportunities Action Plan” that includes a multibillion-pound government investment in the UK’s AI capacity and £14 billion ($17.3 billion) in commitments from tech firms. The stated goal is to boost the AI computing power under public control 20-fold by 2030, and to embed AI in the public sector to improve services and reduce costs by automating tasks.
