The Government recognises that rapid growth in AI investment presents both opportunities and risks for the UK economy.

We will continue to assess potential impacts of that investment on productivity, skills, competition, infrastructure and economic resilience. Our approach is to support AI adoption and investment that drives growth and innovation.
