UK Government Backs Second AI Company With Taxpayer Funds
The UK government has announced an increased funding allocation for the video games industry. The initiative aims to support the sector, with discussions ongoing about how this will specifically benefit women within the industry and their activism. The UK government announced several million pounds in additional funding for policing this morning. Former counter-terrorism police national coordinator Nick Aldworth noted that while the funds will be welcomed, policing alone cannot solve the underlying societal issues. The announcement follows discussions regarding the capacity of police forces to act in practical terms. The United Kingdom government has announced that a second company is receiving backing from the £500 million AI fund launched earlier this month. The company is expected to announce a tens of millions of pounds investment as part of a wider one-billion-pound funding round.
