譯題：人工智能行業(yè)新政

Foreword

Throughout history， there have been moments when the progress of technology has taken great steps forward， when a combination of the right tools， a capacity for innovation， and sparks of ingenuity lead to breakthroughs that transform how we live our lives.

There is no doubt that machine learning and AI is already improving peoples’ lives， from intelligent personal assistants that can prepare us for changes in the weather， to systems that protect our money from criminals， or devices that offer medical advice from the comfort of our own home. And this is only the start; the potential of AI is undeniable. Our next challenge will be to harness this technology to transform how we diagnose diseases， manufacture goods and build our homes. To realise all the social and economic benefits， we will need a strong partnership between business， academia and government.

A revolution in AI technology is already emerging. If we act now， we can lead it from the front. But if we ‘wait and see’ other countries will seize the advantage. Together， we can make the UK a global leader in this technology that will change all our lives.

Sfoundations of productivity

The Industrial Strategy is built on 5 foundations：

Ideas- the world’s most innovative economy;

People- good jobs and greater earning power for all;

Infrastructure- a major upgrade to the UK’s infrastructure;

Business environment -? the best place to start and grow a business;

Places-? prosperous communities across the UK.

Support AI innovation to raise productivity

Our vision in the Industrial Strategy- for the UK to be the world’s most innovative economy - is supported by a very significant increase in R&D spending between the government and industry. This will boost R&D spending to 2.4% of GDP by 2027， and 3% over the longer term， beginning with a? 725 million investment in new Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund programmes to capture the value of innovation. This is part of a broader commitment to raise total public investment in R&D from around? 9.5 billionn in 2016 to 2017 to? 12.5 billionn in 2021 to 2022.

This Sector Deal positions the Artificial Intelligence sector to play a growing role in meeting this ambition – with a potential contribution of? 200 billion or 10% of UK GDP by 2030. The government， industry and academia will co-invest to drive R&D in AI including through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.

It’s not just the startups who are investing. Rolls-Royce has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Alan Turing Institute to codesign and deliver a programme of collaborative research in data science and AI.

Stimulate uptake of AI within the public sector

As announced in the Industrial Strategy white paper， the government will invest 20 million in GovTech initiatives that will improve the delivery of public services， from transport and the environment， to education and health. We will also bring together existing work across central government and public bodies to share these technologies and understand how they are deployed most successfully.

Investments in the UK from AI powerhouses

Many of our most successful businesses started life as an idea in a university lab here in the UK. As the home of 4 of the top 10 universities in the world， we are a magnet for the highest calibre researchers in artificial intelligence and related disciplines.

DeepMind， a prominent UK-based AI firm developed out of our leading universities， not only created AlphaGo， but created a new version which taught itself to defeat the original programme.

The UK has also produced other globally recognised AI firms such as Improbable， which specialises in using AI for virtual reality （VR）， and has developed simulation technology with the potential to model the behaviour of millions of people.

We are confident that the measures announced through this Sector Deal， alongside the government’s vision to be a leader in meeting the challenges posed by AI and data， will lead to further major investments in UK AI from businesses around the world.

前言

縱觀歷史，總有一些時(shí)刻，當(dāng)正確的工具、創(chuàng)新能力和獨(dú)創(chuàng)性的火花結(jié)合在一起時(shí)，技術(shù)便會取得巨大的進(jìn)步，從而改變我們的生活方式。

毫無疑問，機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)和人工智能已經(jīng)在改善人們的生活：從可以讓我們?yōu)樘鞖庾兓龊脺?zhǔn)備的智能個(gè)人助理，到保護(hù)我們的錢財(cái)免受犯罪分子侵害的系統(tǒng)，或是在我們舒適的家庭環(huán)境中提供醫(yī)療建議的設(shè)備。這只是個(gè)開始而已，人工智能的潛力是不可否認(rèn)的。我們的下一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)將是利用這項(xiàng)技術(shù)來改變我們診斷疾病、制造商品和建造家園的方式。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)所有的社會和經(jīng)濟(jì)利益，我們需要在商業(yè)、學(xué)術(shù)界和政府之間建立強(qiáng)有力的伙伴關(guān)系。

人工智能技術(shù)的革命已經(jīng)開始。如果我們現(xiàn)在就行動，我們就能從前線領(lǐng)導(dǎo)它。但如果我們靜觀其變，其他國家將會抓住這一有利條件。通過共同努力，我們可以使英國成為這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，這個(gè)技術(shù)將改變我們的一生。

生產(chǎn)中的五個(gè)基礎(chǔ)條件

產(chǎn)業(yè)戰(zhàn)略是建立在五個(gè)基礎(chǔ)之上的：

創(chuàng)新思想——世界上最具創(chuàng)新力的經(jīng)濟(jì)體;

人力資源——為所有人提供好的工作和更高的賺錢能力;

基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施——對英國基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施進(jìn)行重大升級;

商業(yè)環(huán)境——讓英國成為創(chuàng)業(yè)和經(jīng)商的最佳場所;

地方經(jīng)濟(jì)——在英國各地創(chuàng)建繁榮社區(qū)。

創(chuàng)新思想

支持人工智能創(chuàng)新，提高生產(chǎn)力

我們在產(chǎn)業(yè)戰(zhàn)略中的愿景，即讓英國成為世界上最具創(chuàng)新性的經(jīng)濟(jì)體，得到了政府和工業(yè)之間研發(fā)支出大幅增長的支持。到2027年，研發(fā)支出將占GDP的2.4%，從更長期來看，這一比例將達(dá)到3%，首先投資7.25億英鎊在新的產(chǎn)業(yè)戰(zhàn)略挑戰(zhàn)基金項(xiàng)目上，以獲取創(chuàng)新的價(jià)值。這是一個(gè)更廣泛承諾的一部分，即將研發(fā)公共投資總額從2016年至2017年的95億英鎊提高到2021年至2022年的125億英鎊。

這項(xiàng)政策使人工智能行業(yè)在實(shí)現(xiàn)這一雄心壯志方面發(fā)揮越來越大的作用，到2030年，其潛在貢獻(xiàn)將達(dá)到2000億英鎊，相當(dāng)于英國GDP的10%。政府、工業(yè)和學(xué)術(shù)界將共同投資推動人工智能的研發(fā)，包括通過產(chǎn)業(yè)戰(zhàn)略挑戰(zhàn)基金。

不僅僅是初創(chuàng)公司在投資。羅爾斯·羅伊斯與艾倫·圖靈研究所簽署了一份合作備忘錄，共同簽署并實(shí)施了一項(xiàng)數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)和人工智能領(lǐng)域的合作研究計(jì)劃。

在公營機(jī)構(gòu)內(nèi)推廣人工智能

正如《產(chǎn)業(yè)戰(zhàn)略》白皮書所宣布的那樣，政府將向政府科技項(xiàng)目投資2000萬美元，這些舉措將改善公共服務(wù)的提供方式，從交通、環(huán)境到教育、衛(wèi)生。我們還將匯集中央政府和公共機(jī)構(gòu)的現(xiàn)有工作，分享這些技術(shù)，并了解如何最成功地部署這些技術(shù)。

人工智能巨頭在英國的投資

許多最成功的企業(yè)都是在英國的一所大學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)室開始創(chuàng)業(yè)的。作為世界十大大學(xué)中四所大學(xué)的所在地，英國吸引了人工智能和相關(guān)學(xué)科中最優(yōu)秀的研究人員。

英國著名的人工智能公司DeepMind從英國領(lǐng)先的大學(xué)中發(fā)展而來，它不僅創(chuàng)造了AlphaGo，還創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)新版本，自學(xué)擊敗了最初的程序。

英國還擁有其他全球認(rèn)可的人工智能公司，如專門將人工智能用于虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)（VR）的Improbable公司，并開發(fā)了模擬技術(shù)，有可能模擬數(shù)百萬人的行為。

我們相信，這項(xiàng)行業(yè)新政宣布的措施，加上政府希望成為應(yīng)對人工智能和數(shù)據(jù)挑戰(zhàn)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的愿景，將促使世界各地的企業(yè)進(jìn)一步在英國大舉投資人工智能。
