Business Environment

Develop policy to support AI in the UK

Effective leadership and partnerships will be vital to driving forward AI in the UK. As part of the Sector Deal， the government will use its convening power to establish an AICouncil as a central forum where industry， academia and government leaders can come together to identify opportunities and issues and actions to address them. Similar partnerships have been successful in other sectors such as professional and business services， and the automotive industry. Together， these new institutions will provide the governance and oversight of delivery of the Sector Deal and the wider Grand Challenge.

Promote UK Artificial Intelligence globally

The UK is a world leader in exporting innovation and technology. The government is committed to helping our AI businesses succeed globally. It will increase its promotion of UK AI businesses through trade missions and take steps to attract AI entrepreneurs to the UK. It will look to increase its focus on attracting AI and data-led businesses to establish headquarters in the UK. And， as part of the government’s broader commitment to increasing investment and exports， AI will benefit from the nine new Trade Commissioners responsible for leading export promotion， inward and outward direct investment， and trade policy overseas.

Improve the environment for high growth businesses， including in AI

The government is committed to making the UK the best place to start and grow a business. To do this the government is：

establishing a new 2.5 billion Investment Fund incubated in the British Business Bank

investing in a series of private sector fund of funds of scale

doubling the annual allowance for people investing in knowledgeintensive businesses through the Enterprise Investment Scheme （EIS） to 2 million a year

providing greater flexibility for knowledge-intensive businesses over when they can access a first investment through EIS and Venture Capital Trusts （VCT）

doubling the amount knowledgeintensive businesses can receive in a single year through EIS or VCT investment to 10 million

backing first-time and emerging fund managers through the British Business Bank’s established Enterprise Capital Fund programme unlocking at least an additional 1.5 billion of investment

backing overseas investment in UK venture capital， expected to release 1 billion of investment

supporting long-term investment by giving pension funds confidence that they can invest in assets supporting innovative businesses as part of a diverse portfolio

changing the qualifying rules in Entrepreneurs’ Relief to remove the disincentive to accept external investment and consulting on the detailed implementation of that change

increasing the rate of the R&D expenditure credit from 11% to 12%

Places

Work closely with key clusters to provide the support needed for AI businesses to thrive

The government is committed to helping prosperous communities to thrive across the UK.

Yet many places are not realising their full potential. By introducing Local Industrial Strategies， and further strengthening local leadership through Local Enterprise Partnerships and Mayoral Combined Authorities， we will provide incentives to make regions across the UK attractive environments for AI businesses and research to flourish in. The huge potential for AI to transform sectors means action is needed now so that new and existing clusters are equipped to support the growing demand for AI， and to be able to offer services locally.

Key to the UK realising the full economic benefit of AI is ensuring the adoption， deployment and use of AI technologies by organisations of all size and sector.

The actions we are taking to support the growth of AI ecosystems apply throughout the United Kingdom and the challenges we face are shared with our partners in the devolved administrations. As we deliver this Sector Deal we will look for opportunities to collaborate.

制定支持英國(guó)人工智能的政策

有效的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和伙伴關(guān)系對(duì)推動(dòng)英國(guó)人工智能的發(fā)展至關(guān)重要。作為行業(yè)協(xié)議的一部分，政府將利用其召集權(quán)建立一個(gè)AI商會(huì)作為中心論壇，讓工業(yè)界、學(xué)術(shù)界和政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人能夠聚集在一起，確定機(jī)遇和問題，并采取行動(dòng)解決這些問題。類似的合作關(guān)系在專業(yè)和商業(yè)服務(wù)以及汽車行業(yè)等其他領(lǐng)域也取得了成功。這些新機(jī)構(gòu)以及合作伙伴關(guān)系，將共同為該行業(yè)交易的達(dá)成和更廣泛的重大挑戰(zhàn)提供治理和監(jiān)督。

英國(guó)在出口創(chuàng)新和技術(shù)方面處于世界領(lǐng)先地位。政府致力于幫助人工智能業(yè)務(wù)在全球取得成功，它將通過(guò)貿(mào)易代表團(tuán)加強(qiáng)對(duì)英國(guó)人工智能企業(yè)的推廣，并采取措施吸引人工智能企業(yè)家到英國(guó)，也將加大對(duì)吸引人工智能和數(shù)據(jù)導(dǎo)向型企業(yè)在英國(guó)設(shè)立總部的關(guān)注。此外，作為政府?dāng)U大投資和出口承諾的一部分，人工智能將受益于負(fù)責(zé)主導(dǎo)出口促進(jìn)、進(jìn)出口直接投資和海外貿(mào)易政策的9名新貿(mào)易專員。

改善包括人工智能在內(nèi)的高增長(zhǎng)企業(yè)的環(huán)境

政府致力于讓英國(guó)成為創(chuàng)業(yè)和發(fā)展業(yè)務(wù)的最佳地點(diǎn)。為了達(dá)到此目標(biāo)，政府采取了以下措施：

在英國(guó)商業(yè)銀行新設(shè)立一個(gè)25億美元的投資基金。

投資于一系列私募基金中的規(guī)?；?。

通過(guò)企業(yè)投資計(jì)劃，每年為投資知識(shí)密集型企業(yè)的人士提供的津貼可加至200萬(wàn)歐元。

為知識(shí)密集型企業(yè)提供更大的靈活性，使它們能夠通過(guò)企業(yè)投資計(jì)劃和風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資本信托獲得第一筆投資。

通過(guò)企業(yè)投資計(jì)劃或風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資本信托投資，知識(shí)密集型企業(yè)在一年內(nèi)可獲得的收益翻一番，達(dá)到1000萬(wàn)歐元。

通過(guò)英國(guó)商業(yè)銀行建立的企業(yè)資本基金項(xiàng)目，為首次投資和新興基金管理公司提供支持，至少增加了15億英鎊的額外投資。

讓那些持有養(yǎng)老基金的人相信，他們可以投資于支持創(chuàng)新業(yè)務(wù)的資產(chǎn)，作為多元化投資組合的一部分，從而支持長(zhǎng)期投資。

修改企業(yè)家資格規(guī)則，減輕接受外來(lái)投資的障礙，并就具體實(shí)施這一改變征求意見。
