With several quintillion bytes of data produced annually from a vast spectrum of sources (social media, blogs, physical sensors, digital cameras, financial transaction records, electronic health records, and GPS signals etc.), an ever-growing number of disciplines rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. These have already had marked success for online advertising, recommender systems, financial market analysis, computer vision, computational linguistics, bioinformatics and many other fields. A major source of productivity improvements comes from making the most of AI and machine learning across the economy. The UK is aiming to build on its world-class research by working with industry to develop innovative uses of AI and advanced analytic technologies. With each new advance made by AI companies, a myriad of technological challenges must be resolved by computer and data scientists using experimental development to derive optimal solutions.

Such challenges are vast, range from fundamental platform development to cloud hosting, and are made exponentially more challenging by recently introduced legislation, such as the necessity for black box auditing to comply with GDPR.
