    The aim of this group is to “strengthen the nation’s economic security by advancing sovereign AI infrastructure and accelerating the growth of the UK AI startup ecosystem”.

    Absolute wrong priority. Current tech for “AI” is nothing but statistical word / image generators. They should skip that until some other advance is made toward actual reasoning. The hype has people fooled. This isn’t anything close to intelligence.

      LLMs are statistical word generators, but that’s still useful for a bunch of things, and there are other forms of AI than LLMs. Either way while certainly overhyped, AI is still useful and not something you want agent Krasnov or Xi to hold you by the balls with.

        AI is definitely useful for things like medical imaging analysis and meteorology. Too many people collapse “generative AI” into “AI” and it needs to stop.

        LLMs are useful, mostly, for fooling investors. Looks like here this application is paramount.
