Side note: what are people’s opinions of the UK regarding AI now? Completely insignificant? I feel the UK has taken a nosedive over at least the past 30 years.
The UK will need to be an AI hotspot if we want to continue being a financial centre.
Not sure why AI would help there.
You are you going to have to support this statement a little bit better :-)
The only one close to UK in Europe is probably Switzerland and France but they too are mostly focused on research in universities rather than pushing out commercial products the way the US is exceeding at. Everyone else is not even in the game.
Founders are more likely to want to tackle smaller problems with a more secure business model.
Investors are much less likely to back high-risk/high-reward speculative business propositions.
Government will insist that we need to go slow and steady and prioritise goals like inclusivity and safety over performance.
The public will be sceptical of any large AI company, especially if they're pushing regulatory boundaries, and demand government intervention.
Every job posting I see seems to be some variation on the theme of pumping some representation of money around or retail/ecomm/HR management.
