The AI Action Plan is the first annual implementation update to the UK’s 10-year National AI Strategy, translating its three pillars into a concrete programme of government activity. It restates the pillars of ‘investing and planning for the long term needs of the AI ecosystem,’ supporting an AI-enabled economy across sectors and regions, and getting national and international AI governance ‘right to encourage innovation, investment, and protect the public and our fundamental values.’ The plan summarises progress since September 2021 and sets out that ‘This Action Plan will be updated each year’ to track delivery, develop metrics, and keep policy responsive to AI developments. It catalogues actions on compute, data access, skills, R&D, AI adoption, and early moves towards a pro-innovation regulatory approach, positioning the document as an evolving implementation tool rather than a stand-alone regulatory framework.
