We're delighted to be working with partners @bennettschool.cam.ac.uk & @productivity.bsky.social on how productivity & economic considerations can help develop & deploy AI from an ethical and legal standpoint, thanks to a Responsible AI grant.
The UK’s fragmented approach to AI sovereignty creates vulnerabilities, warn @cam.ac.uk experts.
Only a fully integrated strategy—linking research, industrial policy & procurement—can secure the domestic AI capabilities needed to shape the nation’s economy, security & democracy.
