Using AI to beat problems from low productivity to the scourge of cancer

The government is providing £20 million to support world-leading research in Artificial Intelligence, which could transform cancer treatment and help to save lives.

  • Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve all of our lives, and we are determined to ensure the UK is at the forefront of this remarkable technological innovation.
     
  • The government will use £20 million of taxpayer's money to back 15 of the UK’s top AI projects aiming to tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges, from speeding up medical diagnosis to increasing productivity. One project receiving support aims to use AI to predict the development of cancer before it is fully formed, so it can be treated far earlier.
     
  • By cementing the UK’s status as a world leader in data and AI, we can transform how people live, work and communicate, while tackling some of the greatest challenges facing us.
