 The UK government’s £100m commitment to supporting the development of AI-focused startups provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on how innovation correlates to growth within the tech space, and what developments in generative AI could mean for consumers. The government’s announcement of an AI taskforce to accelerate its generative AI sector is a promising development for UK tech, potentially creating an avenue through which innovation and growth might be fostered.The £100-million funding backing the project suggests an understanding of the potential benefits of leveraging AI to create new businesses and enhance existing ones. Beyond the transformative impact that the new generation of AI platforms might have on how any number of businesses operate, AI represents an opportunity to encourage growth and build momentum for the UK tech sector, with this initiative hopefully making that possible.Artificial intelligence is expected to make a substantial contribution to the economy in the coming years and is projected to raise GDP by 7% within a decade. It offers a wide range of applications across various industries, from healthcare to education, finance, and beyond.If correctly applied, this investment has the potential to empower cutting-edge AI solutions that will enhance efficiency and create value for both businesses and consumers. But what form will this AI-driven transformation take?INNOVATION AND GROWTHMachine-learning platforms that analyse data, predict outcomes and simulate scenarios have been in use for many years, from calculating insurance risk and gambling odds to advising brokers on stock market trends. This new generation of conversational, generative AI have taken things to the next level, offering institutions and enterprises the means of training, redirecting and communicating without relying exclusively on human employees.The theoretical applications of AI are nearly limitless, and this is where the greatest opportunity for both the tech and commercial sectors lies. Developing new platforms and usages for AI technology have the potential to accelerate innovation and produce solutions that make processes more efficient and interfaces more convenient to use.For education and training interests, smart AI directory programs can help connect users with the relevant information and even fulfil requests and respond to queries, providing valuable support instantly and at all hours.Logistical, retail and FMCG businesses could certainly benefit from the analytical and predictive capabilities of AI, allowing it to audit their processes and operations to improve efficiencies and reduce human error through digital oversight.For tech businesses, however, the greatest potential is in making AI smarter and more accessible. In theory, the government task force will make funding more available and help reduce regulatory and compliance obstacles, making AI an appealing prospect for UK tech startups, returning momentum to a tech sector that has suffered due to widespread economic slowdown.CONSUMER BENEFITSFor most consumers, their only experience of encountering AI platforms to date will be the virtual assistants and digital AI chatbots that tech-savvy brands have implemented in recent years.At the highest level, groundbreaking new AIs can enhance efficiencies and create value for the businesses that use them, but this incredible potential might stand at odds with the experiences of most consumers, whose own experiences of AI chatbots when interacting with brands and banks are not so positive.For instance, only 24% of respondents in a recent Studio Graphene survey believed that chatbots were good at understanding the questions they were asked, highlighting the gap between the potential and current applications of AI.In addition to technological considerations, there is a human element to take into account when adopting AI. Consumers may be accustomed to engaging with human agents, so the transition to automated chatbots may...
