The UK seeks to lead the world in artificial intelligence

Many fear artificial intelligence dominates the world, but the nations of the world compete to lead this new age by injecting funds into artificial intelligence research to develop and use it in many complex areas. Experts do not expect artificial intelligence to contribute $ 16.7 trillion to the world economy by 2030. The UK has not seen as much interest in artificial intelligence research as the United States and China, but plans to change it. Recently announced that it had committed US $ 1.4 billion to invest in the artificial intelligence sector.

"The point of our strength is our determination to take advantage of artificial intelligence by all means, because other countries will be ahead of us if we do not develop it," Greg Clark, the UK's trade and economy minister, told Reuters. "The Kingdom plans to pump money into several projects, As well as the creation of a supernatural computer for artificial intelligence at the University of Cambridge, UK. No doubt these projects will contribute to the growth of artificial intelligence in the Kingdom, but is it enough to reach the Kingdom to the top and crowned the title of world leader of artificial intelligence? Most likely not, although the amount allocated seems huge, but it is not comparable to the huge sums that other countries spend on artificial intelligence. US corporate capitalists have invested in emerging companies of artificial intelligence more than any other country since July 2017. In 2016, US private investors pumped about $ 21 billion into the artificial intelligence sector, while private sector investors in the UK And Europe together are estimated at US $ 2.9 billion to US $ 3.8 billion, nearly 18% of the amount invested by the Americans.

The United States has more expert intelligence experts, with an estimated 850,000 experts spread across the country. The United Kingdom has only about 140,000 experts. Interestingly, China has about 50,000 experts but has a special place in artificial intelligence.

Although the kingdom is lagging behind in statistics, it outperforms big countries that all artificial intelligence research is taking place in London. "The exchange of experiences that are the basis of artificial intelligence development can happen here easier than anywhere else," Matt Hancock, secretary of state for culture, media and sports, told Reuters. "This feature may not last long after China announced the allocation of US $ 2.1 billion To create one, an artificial intelligence industrial park outside Beijing.

According to the official Xinhua News Agency, the park will support up to 400 artificial intelligence projects specializing in various fields ranging from standard bio-matching to deep learning. Which will make it easier for experts to cooperate at various levels.

China and the United States are strong rivals of the United Kingdom, Japan has its own strategy to control artificial intelligence as well as Canada and Germany. Saudi Arabia's artificial intelligence budget is unlikely to be the key factor in its ranking as world leader in artificial intelligence.
