What action is the Welsh Government taking to ensure that Welsh communities benefit from further UK investment in AI?
The Welsh Government is actively working closely with the wider ecosystem associated with AI investment in the UK. Realisation of benefits for Wales at both a national and local level form a critical part of our engagements in topics including employment, Innovation and R&D, AI deployment, skills and training provisions and wider supply chain opportunities.
Having secured two AI Growth Zones, we will ensure that we realise benefits through coordinated programmes of work and activities. Furthermore, as we develop the new Strategic Policy Framework for data centres in Wales, our expectations for community benefits realisation will be set out to developers.
