The British Prime Minister unveils a new strategy to build an AI powerhouse

Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday unveiled a strategy to make Britain a global artificial intelligence superpower. The strategy focuses on plans to simplify data centre construction and expand public computing capacity. Key initiatives include creating artificial intelligence "growth zones" with streamlined approval processes and building a national supercomputer. The government will also maintain a "pro-innovation" approach to regulation, relying on existing industry regulators rather than creating new laws, as in the European Union.
