The Welsh Government has launched a new plan to embed the benefits of AI in various sectors and shape its influence to improve the lives of people across Wales.
A week after the AI Zone for North Wales was launched, the AI Plan for Wales sets out how the transformative power of artificial intelligence will be embraced across Wales to drive economic growth, enhance public services in both Welsh and English, and equip people across Wales with the skills to thrive in an AI-shaped future.
The Plan will act as a long term roadmap and establish the building blocks for exploring the potential of AI in a responsible, ethical, and collaborative way.
The Welsh Government is already delivering at pace on AI. It has:
- launched the AI Growth Zone for North Wales, in partnership with the UK Government
- established an Office for AI to provide leadership and direction on public service transformation
- formed the independent Strategic AI Advisory Group to strengthen our ecosystem across sectors
- invested in public service innovation and workforce upskilling
- developed ethical guidance for AI use in public sector workplaces through social partnership
Public services across Wales are already embracing AI, from personalised learning in schools, to automation in local government, and faster diagnoses in the NHS.
