UKAI urges UK to adopt a sovereign AI strategy

UKAI, a trade body representing more than 270 British AI businesses, has called on the government to include a unified sovereign AI plan in next week's budget. It argues that separate initiatives, including a £500 million Sovereign AI fund and a further £60 million, should be merged into one strategy to avoid dependence on foreign tech giants.
