UK and France work together on artificial intelligence V3

The United Kingdom and France have agreed to work together more closely on technology, artificial intelligence and cyber security, announcing plans for a digital conference to promote deeper integration. The conference will take place this year, and has been conceived to'foster cross-Channel collaboration between academics, industry and government'. Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Matt Hancock announced the event with his French opposite, Françoise Nyssen, at the recent UK France Summit in Sandhurst. The UK invests more in technology than any other European country, and was named the best-prepared country in the world for AI implementation in December by Oxford Insights. France, meanwhile, is encouraging startups and entrepreneurship - recently repurposing a Paris railway station to host new businesses, multinationals and investors.
