UK government investment in quantum computing and AI

Interesting to see this report that the government is planning on investing £2.5bn in the areas of quantum computing and AI. Our report last year looked at the rapidly developing intersection of AI and Quantum, and found that, per capita AI patent publications at the EPO are dominated by the US and Republic of Korea, with both countries showing sustained increases over the last three years, leading to a widening “innovation” gap Europe, where per capita filings have failed to increase appreciably. It will be interesting to see what impact the Government strategy to stop UK tech ‘drifting abroad’ has going forward. 

In her Mais Lecture at the Bayes Business School in the City of London, Reeves will promise to achieve "the fastest AI adoption in the G7" thanks in part to government investment in British tech. She will add that quantum computing is to create 100,000 UK jobs.
