Well I suppose it’s comforting that a lack of infrastructure spending led to one good thing

AI needs a huge amount of power and the UK just happens to have the highest energy prices in the world.
Why would you build an AI facility in the UK when in the US their energy prices are 1/4 of ours?
Also NIMBYISM. They are trying to build Europe’s largest data centres in my borough on a neglected bit of land. They would invest £5bn, create 6,000 jobs and generate £13m per year revenue for the council and all the old folk are still out with their pitchforks ready to stand in front of the bulldozers trying to put a stop to it.
We’re not going to attract new industries like this to invest in the UK until we get our house in order.

AI is energy intensive. The UK’s AI efforts are held back by expensive energy (something Starmer and Miliband don’t seem to grasp).

Anyone actually know what AI would achieve in this Country? It just seems like loads of people parroting each other with no idea what they are talking about.

Why don’t you invest your money in the so-called “friend shoring” of AI industry?
That is, investing in the allies’ AI cloud data centres in exchange for the use of some of those resources(of course the “PRESENT” US could be excluded from the target lol).
If you should hesitate to invest in EU area, then how about Japan(and Korea)?

Anyway, more power stations to prop up the latest tech fad, anyone?

Short of a rapidly built mega project on which a company is permitted to build its own power station, we ain’t gonna compete in the AI race.
Considering the UK seems incapable of building anything in a rush, if anything like that ever gets planned and approved after a few years, 30 revisions to appease the white breasted sparrow hawk nest that’s in a tree 17km from the site and millions of pounds spent, the whole thing will be outdated.

Good, boycott AI as much as possible. This is a tool that SHOULD be used to take over menial repetitive tasks but companies are using to push out artists and creative jobs.
Ridiculous. I’ll never buy anything of a company that uses AI to advertise or replace humans

we’re losing the AI race to China and the US. These powerful countries beat us by every metric, Starmer makes us look so incompetent, he should resign and call an election.

Country with the highest energy costs of any developed nation has no chance of being in the AI movement. Imagine my surprise.
