that's quite a sensitive topic for rishi sunak, isn't it?uite a lot of countries — certainly the eu looked at the inflation reduction act, which of course is about partly incentivising investment in green technologies, and were worried about the way in which that might affect competition. so i think a lot of countries — whether it's the european union and the 27 member states there, or the united kingdom, that's obviously left the eu — slightly looking over their shoulders there and wondering what more they need to do in order to not be caught out, in a sense, and left behind. so he'll certainly want to talk about that. and i think it's quite interesting just to pick up on the artificial intelligence point — obviously britain is going through this phase where it's trying to position itself, following brexit, as a global player, and rishi sunak really insisting that the uk can lead that conversation. but i do note that the us and the eu recently held their fourth trade and technology council in sweden, where they discussed none other than art
