Description
There's some amazing stuff going on with AI in the UK.
From its thriving AI startup ecosystem to its world-class universities, the UK really does have a lot to be positive about.
But it faces massive challenges too – financing, regulation and the way it copes with the huge structural changes that AI promises to bring.
Every week, AI consultants Matt Wilkinson and Niels Footman discuss some of the latest AI news, surveys and developments and offer context on how AI is developing in their homeland.
