Liz Kendall warns UK risks AI dependency on US tech giants

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Apr 28

In a recent speech, UK Science Secretary Liz Kendall urged cooperation among middle powers like Japan, Canada, and Europe to reduce reliance on a few US AI firms.
Kendall highlighted that AI is the "currency of the future," warning that US dominance in digital infrastructure could undermine UK economic, scientific, and military advantages.
This follows her earlier call for UK investment in AI and chip design, amid concerns over high energy costs, stalled projects, and the global AI market being 70% controlled by US companies.
