On July 22, the UK government and OpenAI jointly announced the establishment of a strategic alliance. Prime Minister Starmer's government aims to bolster investment in the UK's AI sector and leverage AI technology to enhance public services. Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding signed by both parties, OpenAI has pledged to consider investing in AI infrastructure, including data centers, in the UK and to increase its UK workforce, though the exact investment figure remains undisclosed. In return, the UK government has committed to integrating OpenAI's AI technology into public services such as justice, defense, security, and educational technology, which may involve the processing of data from millions of UK citizens to develop AI-driven digital services. Despite housing leading AI research facilities like Google's DeepMind, the UK still lags significantly behind AI superpowers like the US and China in terms of investment scale.
