A digital version of the Liverpool City Region could be put into development to prototype new policies that could reshape the entire area. As the region held its first ever AI summit, leaders have shaken hands on the development of Meta Liverpool. Mayor Steve Rotheram signed a memorandum of understanding at the summit, held at Boxpark Liverpool, between the combined authority, the University of Liverpool and the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Meanwhile, the STFC Hartree Centre at Daresbury had helped develop AI that makes breast cancer analysis 25 times faster and AI software that predicts bowel cancer with 92% accuracy. In a video message to the conference, Mr Kyle said the government would be the city region’s champion in developing AI for good. He added: “Together we can shape the future of this technology to build a fairer, safer, more prosperous society for everyone.
