UK's Health Secretary has announced a massive £250 million investment in Artificial Intelligence which will help the NHS system tap into the power of AI. The European superpower is setting up a National AI Lab to make this happen. The Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: "The experts tell us that because of our NHS and our tech talent, the UK could be the world leader in these advances in healthcare, so I'm determined to give the NHS the chance to be the world leader in saving lives through artificial intelligence and genomics." The NHS Long Term Plan had earlier pledged to use AI to help clinicians eliminate various variations in care. This investment will augment the pledge.
