Artificial intelligence will be unleashed across the UK under government’s game-changing AI Opportunities Action Plan. Turbocharging economic growth. Creating jobs. Boosting living standards. Making the UK the number one place for AI firms to invest. Matt Clifford explains how 👇 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eCtRE946
But yet Copilot and ChatGPT cannot manage to correctly list the currently published NCSC 10 steps when asked...nor can it create an asset register template for network devices accurately; it is littered with spelling errors and blurry nonsense. How on earth will it revolutionise UK business and be of such vast benefit to foreign investors? I cannot help but to feel we are being socially engineered with the FOMO that somehow to not get "left behind" we must embrace and chase this golden goose. 🤷♀️ Oh...and the environmental impact of managing the data centres and sheer draw of energy required to do so will make fossil fuels seem like a good option for climate stabilisation.
Does anyone know where the actual AI Opportunities Action Plan can be found? (it should have been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/artificial-intelligence-ai-opportunities-action-plan-terms-of-reference/artificial-intelligence-ai-opportunities-action-plan-terms-of-reference#outputs )
While AI, when used positively, can be highly beneficial, it is equally important to address the risks associated with its misuse. For instance, increasingly sophisticated AI-powered scams use automated voice software to randomly call individuals, convincingly mimicking human interaction. These systems employ machine learning to recognise and respond to answers, and once the victim is persuaded, they are transferred to scamming agents who extract personal and financial details. Such scams are alarmingly effective. Therefore, implementing robust safeguards to protect the public online must be a critical component of the AI blueprint.
This is sickening. And here's why: my company and handful of fellow researchers at Brunel and many other fine UK Universities have a blueprint, the knowhow and the will to build, not import, the necessary core compute, to make a real, not dreamt up impact, here, on UK soil. Yet neither as company, nor as academic researchers, could we gain access to funding. Tell us UK Research and Innovation and 10 Downing Street: trempetting aside, who's actually getting it right now? how will it be allocated in the future? bleak outlook, if millions given away to exchange programs, we get nothing out of, are anything to go by. Outside "net zero" and tossing AI into every ill informed sentence, who's getting the money? Fluffy speech after another, yet profound research establishments are pushed beyond the brink; and presumably, we're still to believe what's told, over the reality of the miserable economic downward spiral we live in; every cost out of control - from the kW/h and taxation, the attack on drivers, the automotive industry, to the choking universities' student recruitment, suffering home students ...etc; and why does this "AI Action plan" dances to (mostly) imported tech giants beat? thought we were supposed to be "Makers of AI" !!
Department for Science, Innovation and Technology Can you be a bit clearer as to which AI technologies you are referring to here? There are so many different technologies covered by the term AI. Some of these are proven to be value generating, some are highly suspect and are untrustworthy. What levels of accuracy are you benchmarking against? Which ones do you include in your proof of concept experiments and how will you validate the value generating capabilities of your experiments?
Good to see the AI Energy Council as a key part of this plan to ensure the UK becomes a leader in sustainable innovation. Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
“My belief and equation still hold true: 'Metaverse + AI + Digital Twin = The Future.'
I’m all for green data centres and infrastructure. What is an AI graduate? BTW, AI doesn’t exist yet.
What does Matt Clifford CBE’s AI Opportunities Action Plan mean for data protection, IP & copyright, AI Regulation and ESG? Read our summary & analysis of the recommendations, all of which the government has stated it will take forward: https://www.handleygill.co.uk/handley-gill-blog/artificial-intelligence-ai-opportunities-action-plan
This is an important statement of intent by the Government, indicating that they are prepared to put their resources and time into making the UK a leader in AI. The success of this plan will depend on bringing together Government, Businesses (tech and non-tech, large and small) and Investors to implement it. This plan means that 'AI' will now be discussed at every board meeting, it increases awareness in business and importantly will increase engagement and builds trust with the general public. It's important that the Government not only engages in this debate, but leads it. The AI sector has the potential to drive economic growth and social progress right across the UK and this plan sets out the Government's commitment to get started. Good work. Now comes the hard work! #UKAI #AIOAP
