Adobe, Microsoft, Google, and Cisco support a UK government initiative establishing Barnsley as the nation's first 'tech town'. The technology secretary announced the project.
The initiative integrates AI into essential local services, including schools, hospitals, and businesses. The tech companies will assist the local council in applying AI to improve public services for Barnsley's 250,000 residents.
This initiative aligns with the UK government's broader push to accelerate national AI adoption. Adobe commits to the practical application of AI and public sector digital transformation through its involvement.
