英国政府宣布将向高校人工智能研究投资1730万英镑  

Funding of 17.3 million pounds for artificial intelligence and robotics research to be carried out by British universities is to be announced by the government.
It is part of the government's digital strategy
to be published by Culture Secretary Karen Bradley last Wednesday.
'Backing our thriving digital economy to expand and grow by putting the best foundations in place to develop new technology is a vital part of this government's plan to build a modern
dynamic and global trading nation'
she said.
她说道：“支持我们正兴起的数字化经济，把最好的硬件设施提供给发展中的新技术是政府计划的一部分，这一计划就是要发展一个现代化的、有活力的、国际贸易型的国家。”
A report by Accenture released last year estimated that AI could contribute up to 654bn pound to the UK economy by 2035.
But the government was criticised last year for its support of the UK tech scene.
As part of the new digital strategy
puter scientist Prof Dame Wendy Hall and tech CEO Jerome Pesenti
former chief data scientist at IBM
have been asked to review the UK's artificial intelligence sector.
'Our scientists
researchers and entrepreneurs are at the forefront of the development of artificial intelligence and I'm looking forward to exploring how industry and government can work together to support the technology in the UK'
said Dame Wendy.
