UK to fast-track data center approvals as part of AI action plan


On Monday, British Minister Keir Starmer announced a new AI Opportunities Action Plan.

Starmer said the UK’s first AI Growth Zone would be established in Culham, Oxfordshire, home to the country’s Atomic Energy Authority. From teachers personalising lessons, to supporting small businesses with their record-keeping, to speeding up planning applications, it has the potential to transform the lives of working people,” Starmer said. From that perspective, making the country more attractive to outside investment isn’t the worst idea — especially with companies like Microsoft planning to spend$80 billion on new data centers this year.
