LONDON, April 26 (Xinhua) -- More than 50 leading technology companies and organizations have contributed to the development of an Artificial Intelligence sector deal worth 1.4 billion U.S.dollars, the British government announced Thursday.

By boosting AI skills and data driven technologies we will make sure that we continue to build a Britain that is shaping the future.
