Emergency Podcast: How will Andy Burnham change the UK's AI strategy?

Emergency @Pathfounders Podcast: How will Andy Burnham change the UK's AI strategy? We’re looking at what could become a major reset coming for Britain’s AI strategy. According to the Financial Times, @andyburnham, who is tipped to be the next UK Prime Minster, is exploring a shift away from the current policy towards one built around UK AI sovereignty, regional growth and re-skilling, as opposed to the more AI-forward approach we’d become used to under Sir Keir Starmer, who had wooed US tech giants like @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI, while promoting of home-grown AI companies. Indeed, it even launched a £500 @UKSovereignAI fund. But are we about to see the rise of a far more tech-sceptical UK administration? Featuring Editor, Writer and Journalist, @alys_key, and @MeryemArik9, Co-founder and CEO at Doubleword.

Better get in soon - that way you can visit the @pathfounders stage with @mikebutcher hosting and interviewing!
