UK must not be beholden to foreign AI, says head of Alan Turing Institute
The director of the Alan Turing Institute, George Williamson, warned that Britain should avoid dependence on overseas artificial‑intelligence technologies. He said the institute will prioritize national resilience as the United States and China dominate AI development, urging a home‑grown strategy. He emphasized that safeguarding critical sectors and data is essential, and called for investment, talent development, and regulatory frameworks to ensure the UK remains competitive.
