Answer
The Department for International Trade does not hold figures which quantify the export value of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector. The UK is the largest recipient of AI investment in Europe and third in the world and the UK Government is actively supporting the development of its AI industry to ensure that this position is maintained and enhanced. The Government continues to support the UK technology sector where, in 2019, the value of digital goods exports was £17.4bn while digital services exports in 2018 were £51.4bn (latest available full year figures).
