David Lammy : the UK needs to do more to support its own AI companies

David Lammy has written for the Financial Times on a question that is becoming increasingly important for the UK: how do we build our own AI capabilities while navigating growing competition between the US and China?

Drawing on his experience as Foreign Secretary, David looks at AI through a geopolitical as well as technological lens — examining the UK's reliance on overseas technology, the security questions surrounding Chinese AI models, and the need to invest in and champion British AI companies.
