Digital sovereignty should sit at the core of the UK’s AI strategy

Prime Minister’s AI Opportunities Action Plan pledged to turbocharge the economy by infusing AI throughout the public sector.

The challenge lies in establishing “digital sovereignty” ensuring the UK can secure and govern the foundations of its AI-driven future.

Over-reliance on foreign-owned platforms can expose our institutions to security vulnerabilities, regulatory misalignment and loss of control over sensitive data.

As the UK charts its course towards an AI-powered future, cross-sector collaboration is key to delivering digital transformation at scale.

Partnerships focused on transparency, scalability and pragmatic digital sovereignty will best position the UK to become a leader in the development and deployment of AI .
