"The choice isn't between a world that has AI and one that does not. It is a choice between a world where we shape our AI future, based on our own interests and values, or where we are left at its mercy and whim."
"Kendall highlighted the launch this month of a state AI investment fund as evidence of Labour's support for domestic firms, and revealed the government was drawing up a plan to become more influential in designing and manufacturing the chips that power AI systems."
"OpenAI, the US startup behind ChatGPT, has paused a multi-billion dollar datacentre project in the UK, citing high energy costs and regulation."
"Kendall singled out datacentres as an example of concentration in the AI market, with five US companies controlling 70% of global AI computing, up from 60% a year ago."
Britain needs to assert control over artificial intelligence to shape its future according to national interests and values. Currently, US companies dominate the AI landscape, providing 70% of global computing power. The UK government is launching an AI investment fund and plans to enhance its influence in chip design and manufacturing. Concerns exist about the UK's ability to innovate in AI, with high energy costs and regulatory issues hindering progress. Major US firms control significant market share, emphasizing the urgency for the UK to develop its own capabilities.
