The Morning Intelligence Live: Sovereign AI Unit Q&A
Where should the UK build sovereign AI capacity?
The government’s Sovereign AI Unit launches on April 16 with a mission to take rapid action to build the country’s AI capabilities. It will back national champions through a £500m fund, alongside compute access and procurement.
This expert panel and Q&A will look at why the UK is making this bet now, where the SovAI Unit should intervene and what limitations it will face.
The event, sponsored by Locai Labs, is designed to be useful and informative for The Morning Intelligence’s audience across policy, industry and politics.
