Last year, the UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published its 10- year National AI Strategy for the regulation and promotion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK (Report).

As the speed of enterprise operations surge and expectations for quick responses rise, decision making increasingly migrates from data centers to the network’s edge. Whether it’s on the shop floor, where busy production lines must not stand idle, a doctor in a surgical suite waiting for answers, a fire crew needing orders to fight a frantically advancing wildfire, scientists looking for insights that will help a recovering coral reef, or a retail environment where impatient customers wait for help in making a purchase, enterprises must configure their systems to collect information, to develop actionable insights, and to provide decisions or answers in real time.
