About Event

Building and financing AI in the UK

Can the UK compete in the age of AI given our electricity prices? Walk the room through the layers of the cake: power, infra, chips/GPU, capital, policy.

AI is now the largest driver of new power demand. The UK is looking to compete in the buildout but faces challenges including some of the highest industrial electricity prices and a grid queue stretching into the 2030s. SightLive London brings together each layer of the stack with the people actually building it: power, grid, kit, compute, capital, and policy.
