  • The UK Government has set aside £7m for AI projects
  • 120 projects allocated funding to develop AI tools
  • This hopes to boost productivity and efficiency for small businesses

As part of the UK Government’s recently announced AI Opportunities Plan, £7 million has been allocated in funding to AI projects across the country, in an effort to ‘turbocharge’ growth by encouraging the use of the technology. The 120 projects will receive a share of the funding, which will enable them to test tech to boost productivity and efficiency.

An example given by the Government for recipients of this funding includes an algorithm which can help bakeries predict sales, as well as helping forecast how much of each product will need to be produced and therefore reduce food waste, although it’s difficult to imagine a successful bakery which doesn’t already know how much it’s likely to sell.
