The prime minister acknowledges concerns about the emerging technology, but says "the battle for the jobs of tomorrow is happening today".

UK government officials have discussed funding a supercomputer at the University of Edinburgh, just six months after axing a similar major computing project at the institution.

The U.K. government under Labor Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to announce a plan Monday to implement a massive increase in the country’s computing infrastructure in order to foster the growth of homegrown artificial intelligence startups that can rival the likes of OpenAI.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer hailed the potential of AI as he outlined wide-ranging plans to harness the technology, indicating that it will be a key part of his government’s efforts to “turn around the economy” and jump-start lackluster growth.
