The government has announced more than £50m funding for a range of artificial intelligence-related projects including £30m for the creation of a new responsible AI ecosystem. There will also be money for 13 projects aimed at using AI to reach net zero, and £2m for work on helping businesses adopt the technology.

The funding was announced this morning by technology secretary Chloe Smith during her speech at London Tech Week. The cash comes from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and will fund programmes including two new AI research fellowships in the name of Alan Turing, worth £8m. They were awarded to Professor Michael Bronstein and Professor Alison Noble, both based at the University of Oxford.
