this is the global race of Our

Lives now some countries are going to
0:05
make AI breakthroughs and Export
0:09
them others will end up buying those
0:12
breakthroughs and importing
0:17
is which of those will Britain
0:20
be AI maker or AI taker K stama gave a
0:25
speech this morning setting out his
0:27
government's AI opportunity plan as he
0:30
seeks to make Britain a world leader in
0:31
the AI sector it comes as Tech firms
0:33
have committed 14 billion pounds of
0:35
investment in AI in the UK including
0:37
plans for two Mammoth data centers which
0:40
ministers say will create more than
0:41
13,000 jobs in a shift away from rishy
0:44
Sak's focus on AI safety starma argued
0:46
in a world of fierce competition we
0:48
cannot stand by we must move fast and
0:50
take action to win the global race so
0:52
what's happening and what does all this
0:54
really mean Tech entrepreneur Matt
0:56
Clifford has made 50 recommendations for
0:58
AI opportunities in the UK and the
1:00
government says it will accept all of
1:02
them it will see ministers create AI
1:04
growth zones speed up planning
1:06
applications and improve energy grid
1:08
access after declaring new data centers
1:11
critical National infrastructure a new
1:13
supercomputer is also set to be jointly
1:15
funded with the private sector in a bid
1:17
to increase the UK's Computing capacity
1:19
this is all part of efforts to both
1:21
boost Britain's GDP amid sluggish growth
1:23
rate and to see AI adopted across
1:25
government such as in the NHS to improve
1:27
productivity and cut cost what's the
1:29
reaction being Matt Clifford has praised
1:31
the plan saying it backs the potential
1:33
of AI to grow our economy improve lives
1:36
for Citizens and make us a global hub
1:38
for AI investment and Innovation but
1:40
there are concerns including from
1:42
artists and writers the AI development
1:44
has infringed their copyright as well as
1:47
the vast energy and water needs of the
1:49
industry contributing to climate change
1:51
the government is Consulting on the
1:52
issues of copyright and will launch an
1:54
AI energy Council to understand the
1:56
challenges the new technology presents
1:58
City am attended one of the world's
2:00
biggest Tech conferences in Las Vegas
2:02
last week and asked attendees where they
2:04
think AI is heading in the future I
2:06
think you'll see more and more people
2:08
adopting AI anytime there's new emerging
2:11
Technologies there's concerns around it
2:13
I'm hopeful that we'll understand the
2:16
safeguards that we need to put in place
2:17
but usually the innovation of the
2:19
technology outpaces the regulation and
2:22
the safeguards that are put up I think
2:23
there's a lot of work that governments
2:25
and agencies and companies need to do to
2:27
create ethical AI uh Alo when it comes
2:30
to the power sourcing of the AI and how
2:32
much power it's taking up it's going to
2:35
be more autonomous where it will be able
2:38
to do some repetitive tasks by
2:42
itself instead of like having a human
2:45
trigger it what do you make of the
2:46
government's approach to AI let us know
2:48
