Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are taking steps to encourage firms to develop and incorporate AI technologies into their daily procedures.

The adoption of trustworthy AI across the UK public and private sectors will drive productivity and growth across the whole economy. To capture the full potential of AI in the private sector, we are targeting high-growth Industrial Strategy sectors and appointing AI Sector Champions in key industries to support diffusion across the whole economy. The cross-government Technology Adoption Review announced at the Autumn Budget will set out additional recommendations in Spring 2025 as to how government should work with industry to support businesses to adopt and innovate with AI.
