Starmer plans to make Britain AI ‘superpower’

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he wanted to make the UK an artificial intelligence “superpower”, promising to take a pro-innovation approach to regulation, make public data available to researchers and create zones for data centres.

Starmer, whose Labour government is expected to have little choice but to cut spending after borrowing costs jumped, said he wanted to put AI at the heart of his ambition to grow the economy.
