So Australia came up with an AI Action plan early on (2021) that is now not available on their website and only in some archives.

The UK gov just released their AI Action Plan today and it's actually REALLY good (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-opportunities-action-plan), it even talks about things like public datasets and dealing with copyright better.

Singapore released an AI Action Strategy in 2019 (https://www.smartnation.gov.sg/files/publications/national-ai-strategy.pdf). It's old, but that's ok because they already released version 2.0 of the plan, as a first class item at https://www.smartnation.gov.sg/nais/

My government (Canada) has taken an industry centric approach (as expected) here https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ai-strategy/en

It's wild to see all the different cultural approaches to AI, and which governments are making AI strategy a first class item on their websites, and which ones have it buried away, or have let it go obsolete.

@kurtseifried

Thanks for the links to the UK plan. I've stalled at the intro and this sentence:

"But despite our record of scientific discovery - from Alan Turing on algorithms and general-purpose computing to Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web"

Errr Alan & Tim didn't find a few formulae and fistful of html hidden down the back of a settee. They actually invented them as a first and novel solution to a specific need that others have generalised.

Maybe indicative PPE equipped civil servants are not equipped to see the difference between discovery and invention.

Or am I just a grumpy pedant?
