or working people everywhere? i don't think that a government should be neutral on these questions. and this government won't be. britain is going to shape the future. we are going to make the breakthroughs, were going to create the wealth and we are going to make ai work for everyone in our country. this is the nation of cheering, of lovelace, who gave birth to the modern computer and the world wide web. so, mark my words, britain will be one of the great ai superpowers. that is not some sort of boosting or wishful thinking. is not some sort of boosting or wishfulthinking. it is not some sort of boosting or wishful thinking. it can be done and it will be done. there is a reason why open ai choose london as their international office and there is the reason

mistral ai, office and there is the reason mistralai, one office and there is the reason mistral ai, one of the champions of open source, have just announced a uk office, too. we have the way of building protective powers after rising vehicles. black stone your�*s largest data centre in northumberland. we are number one in europe for al investment. we have already attracted more than £25 billion, and that is just attracted more than £25 billion, and that isjust in the time that this government has been in office. that is what you get with the government that can be a trusted partner with a clear strategy. it is what you get with the reforming government, capable of driving through the supply—side agenda that this needs. as you know,, as this race speeds up, we have to run further and faster, so within

days of taking office, i asked max clifford —— max clifford to review how we seize the opportunities of ai? i want to thank matt and peter carroll and his team for all their work, because today we are not just publishing that review, we are making a clear commitment to take forward all of the recommendations and we will put the full weight of the british state behind this. i am determined that the uk becomes the best place to start and skill and ai business. that will be the centrepiece of our industrial strategy. there has never been a better moment for entrepreneurs with big ideas to grow a small company fast, so we're going to create ai group assumes, breathing new life into sites like column in oxfordshire. we will remove the

blockages that hold you back. this is a government that backs the builders. so, if you're looking at where to your data centres, we will speed up planning position. if you need better access to power, and we all know what a challenge that is, we will get you those great connections at speed. you have asked for a gold standard data access regime, so we will develop a national data library. a clear and trusted copyright regime. unsafe access to the unique resource of our nhs for resource. and then the engine of ai progress, we will increase our public sector used by a factor of two or three, or even ten, but by 20. that is

like upgrading from my dad was my cold ford cortina to a formula i mclaren in one go. we have the high potential visa routes for the world's top talent to move here and we were going to make it easierfor tomorrow's talent to learn here. training tens of thousands of stem graduates in the process. perhaps most importantly of all, unless we really crystal clear about this, when it comes to regulation, we will be progrowth and pro—innovation. on regulation, i know there are different approaches around the world, but we are now in control of our regulatory regime, so we will go our own way on this. we will test and understand ai before we regulated to make sure that when we do it it is

proportionate and grounded in the science. but, at the same time, we will offer the political stability the business needs and of course are british values, centuries long heritage rooted in democracy and the rule of law. put simply, our message to those at the frontier of ai capabilities as this, we want to be the best state partner for you anywhere in the world. that is the measure of our ambition. and to help us achieve that we are notjust accepting matt's recommendations, we are bringing him into my team in numberten so he bringing him into my team in number ten so he can help develop it. number ten so he can help develop it— number ten so he can help develop it. number ten so he can help develo it. ~ ., ., ., develop it. we are going to say aoodb e develop it. we are going to say goodbye to _ develop it. we are going to say goodbye to our _ develop it. we are going to say goodbye to our viewers - develop it. we are going to say goodbye to our viewers acrossl goodbye to our viewers across the world. but remember, going back to

those two challenges again, our ambition is notjust to be an ai superpower, but also make sure that this benefit is working people. that starts withjobs working people. that starts with jobs and investment in every part of the country. i'm really pleased to hear today, to announce that the company is investing in a new technology hub in liverpool. that and it will create 1,000 newjobs and also that and scale are investing £2 billion. advantage data centre is another £12 billion. making £14 billion in new investment in data centres across the uk, creating another 12,000 jobs. across the uk, creating another 12,000jobs. our across the uk, creating another 12,000 jobs. our plan for change also sets down a gauntlet for public services. the blunt truth is we have got

to be much bolder. i have seen this for myself as a leader of a public service. this is entirely human. new technology can provoke a reaction, a sort of fear and inhibition, can provoke a reaction, a sort of fearand inhibition, a of fear and inhibition, a caution, of fearand inhibition, a caution, if you like. because of the fears, too often you miss the massive opportunity, so we have got to challenge that mindset because, actually, the far bigger risk is that if we don't go for it we are left behind by those who do. that is what i mean about totally rewiring government, being emboldened to take risks as a brilliant entrepreneurs do, restless and relentless, because the prize within our grasp is the path of the national renewal and ai is the way to secure growth, raise

living standards, put money in people's pockets, create exciting new companies, transform our public services. we are all proud of our history, the first industrial nation, the cradle of engineering innovation. iwant people to look back on this generation and be proud of what we started today, that we grasp the nettle of ai, that we ran with it and made it work for working people. that is who we are as a nation. it is who you are as a nation. it is who you are as a nation. it is who you are as the pioneers of the day and it is the ambition to drive this government forward. ai has arrived. our defining opportunity is here and together we will harness it for the good of our country. thank you very much. applause.

public services, yes we have inherited a real mess in the economy by the last government, the same with public services. you gotta turn it around. ai will help us with that because that allows us to increase productivity hugely, to do things differently, to provide a better economy that works in a better economy that works in a different way in the future, the same with public services, so again it is a huge opportunity. i would argue that we would do it in whatever events because it is obviously the right direction to go in but it is doubly necessary because of the mess we inherited from the last government. thank you, chris. can i go to bed from sky news? battery becomes sky news. uk borrowing costs are the highest since _ borrowing costs are the highest since the — borrowing costs are the highest since the financial crisis, investors— since the financial crisis, investors are worried about
