Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the latest such development, in Lanarkshire, would create “good, well-paid jobs” for the community.
He added: “The Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone marks a meaningful step in moving the UK from AI ambition into AI in production.”Scottish Government business minister Richard Lochhead said the announcement was a “welcome endorsement of Scotland’s existing strengths and future potential in this transformative sector”.
Mr Lochhead added: “The Lanarkshire Growth Zone will unlock new opportunities for businesses, researchers and communities, support high-quality jobs, boost productivity and help Scotland play a leading role in the responsible development and deployment of AI.
“Coupled with globally recognised excellence in research, innovation and technological ingenuity, this has already helped attract a £1.5 billion investment in Scotland’s AI infrastructure by DataVita and CoreWeave.
