A forthcoming report, the “AI Opportunities Action Plan,” is set to recommend measures to enhance the UK’s appeal as a hub for artificial intelligence (AI) innovation.
Proposed steps include simplifying the visa process for foreign AI specialists and creating designated “computing zones” to facilitate data centre construction.
The report emphasizes the need to reduce the cost and complexity of obtaining UK visas for individuals with AI expertise.
As part of the plan’s implementation, Science and Tech Secretary Peter Kyle is expected to launch an “AI Opportunities Unit” dedicated to advancing the report’s recommendations.
