A new government scheme has pooled public documents such as curriculum guidance, lesson plans and anonymised pupil assessments, which are now being used to train AI models, including one that can mark children\u2019s work and provide detailed feedback. The \u201ccontent store\u201d \u2014 created by UK company Faculty AI with \u00a34mn of government investment \u2014 serves as an early prototype for ministers as they draw up broader plans to sell anonymised public data to researchers and businesses within 10 years, science, Innovation and technology secretary Peter Kyle told the Financial Times. The program is \u201ca really good example of the kind of gathering of data together and the use of data that\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009will ultimately be the National Data Library\u201d, he said. Sir Keir Starmer\u2019s Labour party set out plans in its manifesto to create a National Data Library which would aggregate and store troves of government data that could eventually be monetised. So far, companies, data experts and government officials have been unclear exactly what form this \u201clibrary\u201d will take, and whether it would simply be used to improve government record-keeping or if plans were afoot to sell the data to third parties.But Kyle said public data that could include anonymised health records \u201cwill be used for public benefit and part of that will be the commercialisation of it for scientific endeavour\u201d. \u201cSome of it will lead to commercialisation and commercial activity, I\u2019m not squeamish about that,\u201d he told the FT. \u201cI will just be driven by making sure that it has public benefit.\u201dIn January, the prime minister announced an \u201cAI Opportunities Action Plan\u201d, which was written by Starmer\u2019s AI adviser Matt Clifford and recommended making five high-impact public data sets immediately available to the private sector and proactively collating data that would be useful to innovators. At the time, Starmer refused to answer questions about whether national data would be sold and how it would be priced.A report by the Tony Blair Institute think-tank about the National Data Library last month noted that \u201cthere is still no clear, bold vision for its purpose or how it should be delivered\u201d.Kyle suggested it would not be possible to set up the library within this parliament \u2014 which is expected to run till 2029 \u2014 but said he was \u201cvery confident\u201d it could be done by the end of the \u201cdecade of national renewal\u201d that Starmer pitched when he was elected.The government is currently midway through a six-month scoping exercise for the National Data Library, Kyle said.\u00a0\u201cThe interaction between the private sector will happen only when we are able to reassure the public it will happen in a safe way and the benefits of doing so will be made absolutely clear to the public,\u201d Kyle said.\u00a0The science secretary said that the data would remain in Britain and be used in the UK, though he was open to it being used by overseas researchers and companies. \u201cWhat we will not have is companies from abroad coming in and using our data and taking it abroad,\u201d he said.Tom Nixon, managing director of applied AI at Faculty who was involved in developing the content store, said that \u201cat the moment, we\u2019re giving access for free, but you can imagine over time you would have paid-for access to the data\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
