Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system consisting of a compact metric space X and a continuous surjective map $T : X \to X$ . By using local entropy theory, we prove that $(X,T)$ has uniformly positive entropy if and only if so does the induced system $({\mathcal {M}}(X),\widetilde {T})$ on the space of Borel probability measures endowed with the weak* topology. This result can be seen as a version for the notion of uniformly positive entropy of the corresponding result for topological entropy due to Glasner and Weiss.
