人工智能行業新政（三）

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.

商務環境

制定支持英國人工智能的政策

有效的領導和伙伴關系對推動英國人工智能的發展至關重要。作為行業協議的一部分，政府將利用其召集權建立一個AI商會作為中心論壇，讓工業界、學術界和政府領導人能夠聚集在一起，確定機遇和問題，并采取行動解決這些問題。類似的合作關系在專業和商業服務以及汽車行業等其他領域也取得了成功。這些新機構以及合作伙伴關系，將共同為該行業交易的達成和更廣泛的重大挑戰提供治理和監督。

在全球推廣英國人工智能

英國在出口創新和技術方面處于世界領先地位。政府致力于幫助人工智能業務在全球取得成功，它將通過貿易代表團加強對英國人工智能企業的推廣，并采取措施吸引人工智能企業家到英國，也將加大對吸引人工智能和數據導向型企業在英國設立總部的關注。此外，作為政府擴大投資和出口承諾的一部分，人工智能將受益于負責主導出口促進、進出口直接投資和海外貿易政策的9名新貿易專員。

改善包括人工智能在內的高增長企業的環境

政府致力于讓英國成為創業和發展業務的最佳地點。為了達到此目標，政府采取了以下措施：

在英國商業銀行新設立一個25億美元的投資基金。

投資于一系列私募基金中的規模基金。

通過企業投資計劃，每年為投資知識密集型企業的人士提供的津貼可加至200萬歐元。

為知識密集型企業提供更大的靈活性，使它們能夠通過企業投資計劃和風險資本信托獲得第一筆投資。

通過企業投資計劃或風險資本信托投資，知識密集型企業在一年內可獲得的收益翻一番，達到1000萬歐元。

通過英國商業銀行建立的企業資本基金項目，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。

支持海外對英國風險投資，預計將釋放10億英鎊的投資。

讓那些持有養老基金的人相信，他們可以投資于支持創新業務的資產，作為多元化投資組合的一部分，從而支持長期投資。

修改企業家資格規則，減輕接受外來投資的障礙，并就具體實施這一改變征求意見。

將研發支出信貸比例從11%提高到12%。

場所

與關鍵集群緊密合作，為人工智能業務的蓬勃發展提供必要的支持

政府致力于幫助繁榮的社區在英國蓬勃發展。

然而，許多地方沒有充分發揮出它們的潛力。通過引入本地產業戰略，以及通過本地企業合作伙伴關系和市長聯合管理機構等措施，來進一步加強本地領導力，我們也將提供激勵措施，使英國各地區成為對人工智能業務和研究蓬勃發展有吸引力的環境。人工智能改造行業的巨大潛力意味著現在需要采取行動，以便使新的和現有的集群能夠支持人工智能日益增長的需求，并能夠在當地提供服務。

英國要實現人工智能全面經濟效益的關鍵是確保所有規模和行業的組織都采用、部署和使用人工智能技術。

我們正在采取的支持人工智能生態系統增長的行動適用于整個英國，我們面臨的挑戰與我們在權力下放的行政部門的合作伙伴共享。在我們達成這一行業協議的同時，我們將尋找合作機會。
