Can the UK Compete with US and China in AI?

Dr Conor McKeown, Lecturer in Digital Media at University of Stirling spoke to CGTN Europe. London reclaims title as Europe's leading tech hub, driven by investment in deep tech and AI. However, challenges remain for the UK to close the gap with US and China in AI, including capital investment scale, hardware power, and risk aversion, according to Dr. McKeown. He also mentioned the UK excels in generating AI ideas and talent, with companies like Google maintaining a presence in London for access to high-quality workers. A UK-powered, deep-tech science champion, delivering AI solutions on UK-based data and hardware, would signal UK success in AI by 2030.
