The State of AI Practice in the UK 2025
by Professor Alan Brown
Research Director, DPA
The UK’s strategic direction has been clearly set out by the UK government based on an industrial push, aiming for a substantial GDP boost through accelerated investment and development. The indication from this data and addition feedback received from Digital Leaders AIWeek participants is that achieving this ambition requires building additional robust, compliant, and focused operational structures to guide effective AI adoption.
Upcoming Meetings
Our working Groups hold regular meetings to scrutinise new legislation and implementation of newly passed acts to hear from regulators and to receive evidence and expert opinion from all interested parties. Chaired by a Peer these sessions are carried out under the Chatham House rule and the findings of the meeting are distributed to Peers, Parliamentarians and DPA members.
